[Boost-users] Iterating over the output of a member function in std::for_each

1 Mar 2012

      I have a class with an accessor member function that I want to call and
apply the result to a functor using std::for_each. I have a working version
below that uses a for loop and for_each, but the for_each version is
cryptic and cumbersome. Is there a way I can make the for_each version more
concise?

    #if 0
       // for loop version:
       for(value_vector_type::iterator it = values.begin();
it!=values.end(); it++){
         avg(it->getValue());  // I want to put this in a for_each loop
       }
    #else
      //  bind version:
      std::for_each(values.begin(), values.end(), // iterate over all values
        boost::bind(
          boost::mem_fn(&average_type::operator()), // attach the averaging
functor to the output of the getvalue call
          &avg,
          boost::bind(
            boost::mem_fn(&value_wrapper_type::getValue), // bind the
getValue call to each element in values
            _1
          )
        )
      );
    #endif

I also have the question posted in stack overflow, with a full
implementation:
