| <p> |
| As you write more lambda functions, you'll notice certain patterns that you |
| wish to refactor as reusable functions. When you reach that point, you'll |
| wish that ordinary functions can co-exist with phoenix functions. Unfortunately, |
| the <span class="emphasis"><em>immediate</em></span> nature of plain C++ functions make them |
| incompatible. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Lazy functions are your friends. The library provides a facility to make |
| lazy functions. The code below is a rewrite of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_odd</span></code> |
| function using the facility: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">is_odd_impl</span> |
| <span class="special">{</span> |
| <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="identifier">result_type</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| |
| <span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">Arg</span><span class="special">></span> |
| <span class="keyword">bool</span> <span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">()(</span><span class="identifier">Arg</span> <span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> |
| <span class="special">{</span> |
| <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="identifier">arg1</span> <span class="special">%</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| <span class="special">}</span> |
| <span class="special">};</span> |
| |
| <span class="identifier">function</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">is_odd_impl</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">is_odd</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| </pre> |

| Result type deduction is implemented with the help of the result_of protocol. |

| <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_odd</span></code>, an instance of |
| <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">function</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">is_odd_impl</span><span class="special">></span></code>, |
| is the lazy function. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| Now, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">is_odd</span></code> is a truly lazy |
| function that we can use in conjunction with the rest of phoenix. Example: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">find_if</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">end</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">is_odd</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">));</span> |

| The library is chock full of STL savvy, predefined lazy functions covering |
| the whole of the STL containers, iterators and algorithms. For example, there |
| are lazy versions of container related operations such as assign, at, back, |
| begin, pop_back, pop_front, push_back, push_front, etc. (See <a class="link" href="../modules/stl.html" title="STL">STL</a>). |
