[Boost-users] [lambda] Writing pass-through 'standard' algorithms

I encountered this difficulty in the context of passing lambda functors, but on reflection I don't the lambda aspect particularly matters. Consider this templated function template inline bool all_if( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, Predicate predicate ) { return std :: find_if( first, last, std :: not1( predicate ) ) == last; } Obviously the intent is to enquire if all members of a range satisfy the predicate. Now, as is, this doesn't compile, because it needs ptr_fun() on the predicate, but then a couple of things come up. - ptr_fun( ) requires that it's argument is a pointer-to-function - I'd like my all_if( ) to permit functions or functors, including lambda functors How can this be done? Is it impossible to dress-up a standard algorithm in this way? Thanks, Rob. -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org
