I want the result of the bound expression to have one input parameter that would be decided later. For instance:
bool some_function(char x); boost::function<bool (char) some_function_object(some_function); boost::function<bool (int)> f = convert(some_function_object) std::cout << f(32);
I think what you're looking for is composition of functions? i.e. g o f (x) => g(f(x))?
The right nomenclature might help... What it seems you want to do is to generate a function that does this:
bool the_result(int i) { return some_function(convert_to_char(int)); }
Is that right?
I know you can curry with boost function + lambda but I haven't tried composition myself (though it should be possible!)
Yes, you're right. It seems that my mistake was possibly that I was using boost::lambda::bind instead of boost::bind.
