NAME

  mem_fun, mem_fun1, mem_fun_ref, mem_fun_ref1  - Function objects that adapt
  a pointer to a member function to work where a global function is called
  for.

SYNOPSIS

  #include <functional>

  template <class S, class T> class mem_fun_t;
  template <class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_t;
  template <class S, class T> class mem_fun_ref_t;
  template <class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_ref_t;

  template<class S, class T> mem_fun_t<S,T>
    mem_fun(S, (T::*f)());
  template<class S, class T, class A> mem_fun1_t<S,T,A>
     mem_fun1(S, (T::*f)(A));
  template<class S, class T> mem_fun_ref_t<S,T>
      mem_fun_ref(S, (T::*f)());
  template<class S, class T, class A> mem_fun1_ref_t<S,T,A>
      mem_fun1_ref(S, (T::*f)(A));

DESCRIPTION

  The mem_fun  group of  templates each encapsulates a pointer to a member
  function.  Each category of template (i.e. mem_fun, mem_fun1, mem_fun_ref,
  or mem_fun1_ref) provides both a class template and a function template,
  where the class is distinguished by the addition of _t on the end of the
  name to identify it as a type.

  The class's constructor takes a pointer to a member function, and  provides
  an operator() that forwards the call to that member function.  In this way
  the resulting object serves as a global function object for that member
  function.

  The accompanying function template simplifies the use of this facility by
  constructing an instance of the class on the fly.

  The library provides zero and one argument adaptors for containers of
  pointers  and containers of references (_ref).  This technique can be
  easily extended to include adaptors for two argument functions, and so on.

INTERFACE

  template <class S, class T> class mem_fun_t
            : public unary_function<T*, S> {
     public:
       explicit mem_fun_t(S (T::*p)());
       S operator()(T* p);
  };

  template <class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_t
            : public binary_function<T*, A, S> {
     public:
       explicit mem_fun1_t(S (T::*p)(A));
       S operator()(T* p, A x);
  };

  template<class S, class T> mem_fun_t<S,T>
    mem_fun(S, (T::*f)());

  template<class S, class T, class A> mem_fun1_t<S,T,A>
     mem_fun1(S, (T::*f)(A));

  template <class S, class T> class mem_fun_ref_t
            : public unary_function<T, S> {
     public:
       explicit mem_fun_ref_t(S (T::*p)());
       S operator()(T* p);
  };

  template <class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_ref_t
            : public binary_function<T, A, S> {
     public:
       explicit mem_fun1_ref_t(S (T::*p)(A));
       S operator()(T* p, A x);
  };
  template<class S, class T> mem_fun_ref_t<S,T>
      mem_fun_ref(S, (T::*f)());
  template<class S, class T, class A> mem_fun1_ref_t<S,T,A>
      mem_fun1_ref(S, (T::*f)(A));

EXAMPLE

  //
  // mem_fun  example
  //

  #include <functional>
  #include <list>

  int main(void)
  {
   int a1[] = {2,1,5,6,4};
   int a2[] = {11,4,67,3,14};
   list<int> s1(a1,a1+5);
   list<int> s2(a2,a2+5);

    // Build a list of lists
   list<list<int>* > l;
   l.insert(l.begin(),s1);
   l.insert(l.begin(),s2);

    // Sort each list in the list
   for_each(l.begin(),l.end(),mem_fun(&list<int>::sort));
  }
