What I really want is this:

void foo( myvec& v, const myset& s, int a ) { // ...

inline bool f( int x ) { return std::abs( x ) < a && s.find( x ) != s.end(); }

v.erase( std::remove_if( v.begin(), v.end(), f ), v.end() ); }

for obvious readability reasons.

Local functions would be great. I still think we need lambda expressions to handle the simple _1->first < 0 cases, and especially those cases where the function needs or ought to be templated. I think the syntax should be auto(x){ x->first < 0 } -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
