Hello all,
A curiosity: On GCC compilers (but _only_ on GCC compilers) it is possible to combine Boost.Local and the non-standard GCC "expression statements" feature to implement lambda functions. In other words, it is possible to define a Boost.Local closure within a GCC expression statement:
std::vector<int> v(3); v[0] = 1; v[1] = 2; v[2] = 3; int factor = 10;
std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), LAMBDA(int x, const bind& factor) { std::cout << x * factor << std::endl; } LAMBDA_END );
This is just a curiosity because it is NOT standard C++03 and it will ONLY work with GCC compilers.
I think other compilers such as EDG and Clang may support this extension for GCC-compatibility. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
