AdaptableFunctor

Definition

The concept AdaptableFunctor defines an adaptable functor, i.e., a functor that can be used with function object adaptors such as binders and composers.

Types

AdaptableFunctor::result_type
return type of the functor.

AdaptableFunctor::Arity
defines the arity of the functor, i.e., the number of arguments it takes. The class has to be a specialization of CGAL::Arity_tag<int>, where the template parameter corresponds to the arity of the functor, e.g. CGAL::Arity_tag<2> for binary functors.

Operations

type0
f.operator() ( type1 a1,
type2 a2,
...,
typen an)
const
(as many arguments as defined by Arity)
returns f(a1,...an).

Notes

Alternatively, the type Arity can be defined in a specialization of CGAL::Arity_traits<> for the functor. This is useful where existing classes cannot be changed easily, e.g. the functors from the standard library.

Has Models

All functors from the standard library, and all functors from the lower dimensional CGAL kernels. For all kernel functors, their arity is listed in the documentation. Some (few) of them are overloaded with operators of different arities; in this case one of these arities has been chosen as default arity. If you want to adapt the functor to a different arity, use the functor adaptor CGAL::Set_arity<F,a>.

AdaptableFunctor::result_type
	return type of the functor.

AdaptableFunctor::Arity
	defines the arity of the functor, i.e., the number of arguments it takes. The class has to be a specialization of CGAL::Arity_tag<int>, where the template parameter corresponds to the arity of the functor, e.g. CGAL::Arity_tag<2> for binary functors.
