Yes it does compile, but it doesn't do anything. I'm looking for it to print out the numbers. I need the callback to be called. --- Aaron Wright From: Igor R To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Date: 04/30/2013 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [phoenix] - std::for_each - How to call member variable that is a boost::function? Sent by: "Boost-users"

namespace bp = boost::phoenix; namespace bpa = bp::arg_names;

struct Foo { boost::function< void() > callback;

Foo(boost::function< void() > const& callback) : callback(callback) { } };

main() { std::list< Foo > foos;

foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(1) << '\n')); foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(2) << '\n')); foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(3) << '\n'));

std::for_each( foos.begin(), foos.end(), bp::bind(&Foo::callback, bpa::arg1)); }

If I wrap the bind(...) in another bind(...) it'll work, but is that the right way? I'm not binding anything, I just want the callback called.

FWIW, the following code compiles in MSVC10 with boost 1.53 (basically, your code in form of sscce): #include #include <iostream> #include #include <list> namespace bp = boost::phoenix; namespace bpa = bp::arg_names; struct Foo { boost::function< void() > callback; Foo(boost::function< void() > const& callback) : callback(callback) { } }; int main() { std::list< Foo > foos; foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(1) << '\n')); foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(2) << '\n')); foos.push_back(Foo(std::cout << bp::val(3) << '\n')); std::for_each( foos.begin(), foos.end(), bp::bind(&Foo::callback, bpa::arg1)); } _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

"It's non-obvious where another wrapping bind should go and why it works" I just did it like so: std::for_each( foos.begin(), foos.end(), bp::bind(bp::bind(&Foo::callback, bpa::arg1))); But this seems silly as I'm not binding anything in the outer bind. --- Aaron Wright From: "Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr." To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Date: 04/30/2013 10:21 AM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [phoenix] - std::for_each - How to call member variable that is a boost::function?

I'm not binding anything, I just want the callback called. Well, excusing my indexing into a std::list for the moment, bp::bind(&Foo::callback, bpa::arg1)(foos[0]) just evaluates to foos[0].callback, i.e., it accesses the callback member, but doesn't do anything with it. The part I'm not sure about offhand is what the best way would be to then invoke that member with empty parentheses. It's non-obvious where another wrapping bind should go and why it works :( I would've coded or dug up some apply function object that evaluates its argument and utilized that struct apply { template< class T > void operator()(T f) { f(); } }; but there's probably a better way. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
