[section Functional]

Components to call functions and function objects and to make Fusion code
callable through a function object interface.

[heading Header]

  #include <boost/fusion/functional.hpp>

[heading Fused and unfused forms]

What is a function call?

    f (a,b,c)

It is a name and a tuple written next to each other, left-to-right.

Although the C++ syntax does not allow to replace [^(a,b,c)] with some Fusion
__sequence__, introducing yet another function provides a solution:

   invoke(f,my_sequence)

Alternatively it is possible to apply a simple transformation to [^f] in order
to achieve the same effect:

   f tuple <=> ``f'`` (tuple)

Now, [^f'] is an unary function that takes the arguments to `f` as a tuple;
[^f'] is the /fused/ form of `f`.
Reading the above equivalence right-to-left to get the inverse transformation,
`f` is the /unfused/ form of [^f'].

[heading Calling functions and function objects]

Having generic C++ code call back arbitrary functions provided by the client
used to be a heavily repetitive task, as different functions can differ in
arity, invocation syntax and other properties that might be part of the type.
Transporting arguments as Fusion sequences and factoring out the invocation
makes Fusion algorithms applicable to function arguments and also reduces
the problem to one invocation syntax and a fixed arity (instead of an arbitrary
number of arbitrary arguments times several syntactic variants times additional
properties).

Transforming an unfused function into its fused counterpart allows n-ary
calls from an algorithm that invokes an unary __poly_func_obj__ with
__sequence__ arguments.

The library provides several function templates to invoke different kinds of
functions and adapters to transform them into fused form, respectively.
Every variant has a corresponding generator function template that returns
an adapter instance for the given argument.

Constructors can be called applying __boost_func_factory__.

[heading Making Fusion code callable through a function object interface]

Transforming a fused function into its unfused counterpart allows to create
function objects to accept arbitrary calls. In other words, an unary function
object can be implemented instead of (maybe heavily overloaded) function
templates or function call operators.

The library provides both a strictly typed and a generic variant for this 
transformation. The latter should be used in combination with
__boost_func_forward__ to attack __the_forwarding_problem__. 

Both variants have a corresponding generator function template that returns an
adapter instance for the given argument.

[section Concepts]


[section:callable Callable Object]

[heading Description]

A pointer to a function, a pointer to member function, a pointer to member
data, or a class type whose objects can appear immediately to the left of a
function call operator.

[heading Models]
* function pointer types
* member (function or data) pointer types
* all kinds of function objects

[heading Examples]

  & a_free_function
  & a_class::a_static_member_function
  & a_class::a_nonstatic_data_member
  & a_class::a_nonstatic_member_function
  std::less<int>()
  // using namespace boost;
  bind(std::less<int>(), _1, 5)
  lambda::_1 += lambda::_2;
  fusion::__make_fused_function_object__(std::less<int>())


[endsect]


[section:reg_callable Regular Callable Object]

[heading Description]

A non-member-pointer __callable_obj__ type: A pointer to a function or a class
type whose objects can appear immediately to the left of a function call operator.

[heading Refinement of]
* __callable_obj__

[variablelist Notation
    [[`F`][A possibly const qualified Deferred Callable Object type]]
    [[`f`][An object or reference to an object of type F]]

[section:def_callable Deferred Callable Object]

[heading Description]

__callable_obj__ types that work with __boost_result_of__ to determine the
result of a call.

[heading Refinement of]
* __callable_obj__

[blurb note Once C++ supports the [^decltype] keyword, all models of
__callable_obj__ will also be models of __def_callable_obj__, because
function objects won't need client-side support for `result_of`.

[section Invocation]

[section Functions]

[section invoke]

[heading Description]

Calls a __def_callable_obj__ with the arguments from a __sequence__.

The first template parameter can be specialized explicitly to avoid copying
and/or to control the const qualification of a function object.

If the target function is a pointer to a class members, the corresponding
object can be specified as a reference, pointer, or smart pointer.
In case of the latter, a freestanding [^get_pointer] function must be
defined (Boost provides this function for [^std::auto_ptr] and
__boost_shared_ptr_call__).

Constructors can be called applying __boost_func_factory__.

[heading Description]

Calls a __callable_obj__ with the arguments from a __sequence__. The result
of the call is ignored.

The first template parameter can be specialized explicitly to avoid copying

a reference, pointer, or smart pointer. In case of the latter, a freestanding

such a pointer without returning anything does not make sense, so it isn't
implemented).

An unary __poly_func_obj__ adapter template for __def_callable_obj__ target

The type of the target function is allowed to be const qualified or a
reference. Const qualification is preserved and propagated appropriately

do with the const qualification of a member function, which is referring
to the type of object pointed to by [^this] which is specified with the
first element in the sequence passed to the adapter).

If the target function is a pointer to a class members, the corresponding

[section unfused]

[heading Description]

An n-ary __poly_func_obj__ adapter template for an unary __poly_func_obj__
target function. When called, its arguments are bundled to a
__random_access_sequence__ of references that is passed to the target function
object.

The nullary overload of the call operator can be removed by setting the
second template parameter to `false`, which is very useful if the result type
computation would result in a compile error, otherwise (nullary call
operator's prototypes can't be templates and thus are instantiated as early
as the class template).

Only __lvalue__ arguments are accepted. To overcome this limitation, apply
__boost_func_forward__.

The type of the target function is allowed to be const qualified or a
reference. Const qualification is preserved and propagated appropriately.
In other words, only const versions of [^operator()] can be used if
the target function object is const - or, in case the target function
object is held by value, the adapter is const.

[section unfused_typed]

[heading Description]

An n-ary __poly_func_obj__ adapter template for an unary __poly_func_obj__
target function. When called, its arguments are bundled to a
__random_access_sequence__ that is passed to the target function object.

The call operators of  esulting function objects are strictly typed
(in other words, non-templatized) with the types from a __sequence__.

The type of the target function is allowed to be const qualified or a
reference. Const qualification is preserved and propagated appropriately
(in other words, only const versions of [^operator()] can be used if
the target function object is const - or, in case the target function object
is held by value, the adapter is const).

[blurb __note__ For Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 (Visual Studio 2003) the detection
of the Function Object's const qualification easily causes an internal error.
Therefore the adapter is always treated as if it was const. ]

[blurb __tip__ If the type sequence passed to this template contains
non-reference elements, the element is copied only once - the call operator's
signature is optimized automatically to avoid by-value parameters.]
