unary_function<Arg, Result>

Category: functors Component type: type

Description

Unary_function is an empty base class: it contains no member functions or member variables, but only type information. The only reason it exists is to make it more convenient to define types that are models of the concept Adaptable Unary Function. Specifically, any model of Adaptable Unary Function must define nested typedefs. Those typedefs are provided by the base class unary_function.

Example

struct sine : public unary_function<double, double> {
    double operator()(double x) { return sin(x); }
};

Definition

Defined in function.h.

Template parameters

Parameter Description Default
Arg The function object's argument type  
Result The function object's result type  

Model of

Type requirements

None.

New members

These members are not defined in the Assignable and Default Constructible requirements, but are specific to unary_function.
Member Description
argument_type The function object's argument type. This is a typedef for the template parameter Arg.
