[iterator || function_types] zip_iterator -> unpack and call?
Hi, Say I have a function "int add(int, int)" and want to use it in a call to std::transform with zip_iterators. Is there a way to do it without writing an intermediate function object? If not, would it be sensible to write a generic one using the function_types library? I can't imagine this would be too hard but just wanted to know if there is anything I can leverage before writing it myself. Thanks in advance, Sohail

Thank you, I'll take a look. -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org on behalf of shunsuke Sent: Fri 2/16/2007 7:36 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [iterator || function_types] zip_iterator ->unpack and call? Sohail Somani wrote:

It seems not so easy because of the Forwarding Problem.
Forwarding doesn't seem a problem to me since you already have the argument tuple. The return type inference is painful to get right, though. On the surface it seems as easy as template<class F, class Tp> ... unpack_and_call( F f, Tp const & tp ) { return unpack_and_call_( tuple_size<Tp>(), f, tp ); } template<class F, class Tp> ... unpack_and_call_( mpl::int_<0>, F f, Tp const & tp ) { return f(); } template<class F, class Tp> ... unpack_and_call_( mpl::int_<1>, F f, Tp const & tp ) { return f( get<0>(tp) ); } // and so on but the ... part is more involved if one decides to use result_of. boost::bind-style inference is of course easier since it only needs to look at F.

Right. I have ever written such codes :-) I should say " *pack*_and_call is not so easy. ". Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame
