I would like to learn how to use binding functions. Here is the idea: I have this function which takes to parameters:
void print_i(int t, std::string separator)
{
std::cout << t << separator;
}
And I would like to do:
std::vector<int> elements;
// ...
for_each(elements.begin(), elements.end(), std::bind2nd(print_i, '\n'));
But it does not work !
Here is what I get:
/usr/include/c++/4.3/backward/binders.h: In instantiation of ‘std::binder2nd<void ()(int, std::string)>’:
main.cpp:72: instantiated from here
/usr/include/c++/4.3/backward/binders.h:138: error: ‘void ()(int, std::string)’ is not a class, struct, or union type

I could use functor, but it is quicker to use binding.
Thanks!
You need to use a Copyable/Refrencable object, the following works:
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include <functional> void print_i(int t, std::string separator) { std::cout << t << separator; } int main() { std::vector<int> elements; std::string delim = "\n"; for_each(elements.begin(), elements.end(), std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(&print_i),delim)); return 0; }
Normally you can get the same effect by simply doing the following:
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include <iterator> int main() { std::vector<int> elements; std::copy(elements.begin(), elements.end(), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout,"\n")); return 0; }
Also assuming you have access to TR1 in the STL you're using, its always best to revise/replace any uses of bind1st and bind2nd with std::bind
The argument to bind2nd
must be an AdaptableBinaryFunction
. A plain binary function does not fulfill this requirement (an adaptable function required typedefs for its return and argument types, a plain function type does not provide any typedefs). You could use std::bind
which is probably the better choice anyway.
You need to do the following steps:
1. create a struct (or class) that inherits from std::binary_function
2. define your predicate function in the operator() member function of the struct created in step 1
3. use bind2nd to bind an appropriate value to the struct created in step 1
I have done all this in an example. You can read the article and download the complete code on the following link: bind and find
These functions are deprecated since C++11 and removed in C++17. As mentioned in one comment above, the better solution now is to use std::bind
and the placeholders:
void callable(int a, int b);
auto f = std::bind1st(&callable, 42); // returns a 1-arg function
becomes:
// returns a 1-arg function
auto f = std::bind(&callable, 42, std::placeholders::_1);
