Re: [boost] reference_wrapper() and operator()()

Thorsten Ottosen: ...

I would be satisfied with a function

template< class Return, class T > boost::function_obj_ref( const T& );

used like

algo( first, last, boost::function_obj_ref<bool>( my_heavy_object ) );

boost::bind<bool>( ref( my_heavy_object ), _1, _2, ... ) can be used for that, and so can function<bool(...)>( ref(my_heavy_object) ). This is partially why we don't feel much pressure to add operator() to reference_wrapper. The syntax is more burdensome though.
