Description

An Adaptable Unary Function is a UnaryFunction with nested typedefs that define its argument type and result type. [1] [2] These nested typedef make it possible to use function object adaptors.

Refinement of

UnaryFunction

Associated types

Argument type F::argument_type The type of F's argument
Result type F::result_type The type returned when the Unary Function is called

Notation

F A type that is a model of Unary Function

Definitions

Valid expressions

None, except for those defined by UnaryFunction

Expression semantics

Complexity guarantees

Invariants

Notes

[1] Note the implication of this: a function pointer T (*f)(X) is a UnaryFunction, but not an Adaptable Unary Function: the expressions f::argument_type and f::result_type are nonsensical.

[2] When you define a class that is a model of Adaptable Unary Function, you must provide these typedefs. The easiest way to do this is to derive the class from the base class unary_function. This is an empty class, with no member functions or member variables; the only reason it exists is to make defining Adaptable Unary Functions more convenient. unary_function is very similar to the base classes used by the iterator_tags functions.
