Hello

I used to loop on a std::map<k, d> to act on the data (d) like that (d
being a class with setIntMember method):

    typedef std::map<k, d> tMap;

    struct setIntMember
    {
        setIntMember(int j) : i(j) {}
        void operator()(tMap::value_type& pair)
{ pair.second.setIntMember(i); }
        int i;
    };

The loop being:
    for_each(m.begin(), m.end(), setIntMember(4));

I searched for a method to write all in the for_each loop (to avoid
increasing the functors).

We need a function returning the second member of the pair
tMap::value_type,
and their is the SGI template:

    template<typename _Pair>
    struct Select2nd : public unary_function<_Pair,
                          typename _Pair::second=

_type>

    {
        typename _Pair::second_type& operator()(_Pair& __x) const
        { return __x.second; }

        const typename _Pair::second_type& operator()(const _Pair&=

__x) const
        { return __x.second; }
    };

But I didn't manage to write a single line to perform the for_each
loop, thanks to Select2nd with for_each, bind2nd and mem_fun and
mem_fun1

I didn't manage with boost::bind (on VC++ 6.0):
With boost, I can access the objects like that:
    for_each(m.begin(), m.end(),
        boost::bind(&d::Trace, boost::bind(&tMap::value_type::seco=

nd,

_1)));
but the d::Trace method is called on a temporary object, so I cannot
modify the content of the objects contained in the map.

Some ideas?


Just use the functor you created. It's simple and clean... You might
want to generalized it a little bit:

template < typename Pair, typename Op >
class CallFuncOn2nd_t {
    Op fn;
public:
    CallFuncOn2nd_t( Op fn ): fn(fn) { }
    typename Op::result_type operator()( Pair& v ) const {
        return fn( v.second );
    }
};

template < typename Pair, typename Op >
CallFuncOn2nd_t<Pair, Op> callFuncOn2nd( Op fn ) {
    return CallFuncOn2nd_t<Pair, Op>( fn );
}

for_each(m.begin(), m.end(),
 
callFuncOn2nd<tMap::value_type>(bind2nd(mem_fun_ref(&d::setIntMember),
4)));
