Hmmm?
Or better yet, works now:
namespace foo { void non_local_function(int i, bool b, long l, std::string const & s) { // do what I want here. }
void f(std::vector<double> const &v) { int i; bool b; long l; for_each(begin(v), end(v), bind(&non_local_function, i, b, l, _1)); } }
See, no voodoo required here.
Of course, if you don't need to capture any variable from the enclosing function, using Boost.Local will only make your code more ugly.
I agree.
Now, do I still miss anything?
Again, you are missing C++03 which will make your local_function example above not compile (obviously) and which is the point of this thread.
But I did show a solution that works in both C++03 and C++11 which is to use bind to do it and a non-local function. Phoenix already enables doing magical things for in-line lambda's. Actually in all honesty, for any function that's going to be more than a couple of instructions long, as far as good engineering practice is concerned (and of course YMMV) you're going to want to make it an external function anyway so that: 1. You can test it. 2. You can make it externally linked. 3. You can use it again somewhere else (for free, you don't really have to if you don't want to). HTH -- Dean Michael Berris http://goo.gl/CKCJX
