<h2>Purpose</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The header <a href="../../boost/ref.hpp">boost/ref.hpp</a> defines the class template
|
|
<b>boost::reference_wrapper<T></b>, the two functions <b>boost::ref</b> and
|
|
<b>boost::cref</b> that return instances of
|
|
<b>boost::reference_wrapper<T></b>, and the two traits classes <b>boost::is_reference_wrapper<T></b> and <b>boost::unwrap_reference<T></b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The purpose of <b>boost::reference_wrapper<T></b> is to contain a reference to
|
|
an object of type <b>T</b>. It is primarily used to "feed" references to
|
|
function templates (algorithms) that take their parameter by value.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To support this usage, <b>boost::reference_wrapper<T></b> provides an implicit
|
|
conversion to <b>T &</b>. This usually allows the function templates to
|
|
work on references unmodified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>boost::reference_wrapper<T></b> is both <b>CopyConstructible</b> and
|
|
<b>Assignable</b> (ordinary references are not <b>Assignable</b>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The expression <b>boost::ref(x)</b> returns a <b>boost::reference_wrapper<X>(x)</b>
|
|
where <b>X</b> is the type of <b>x</b>. Similarly, <b>boost::cref(x)</b>
|
|
returns a <b>boost::reference_wrapper<X const>(x)</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The expression <b>boost::is_reference_wrapper<T>::value</b> is
|
|
<b>true</b> if <b>T</b> is a
|
|
<b>reference_wrapper</b>, and <b>false</b> otherwise.
|
|
|
|
<p>The type-expression <b>boost::unwrap_reference<T>::type</b>
|
|
is <b>T::type</b> if <b>T</b> is a
|
|
<b>reference_wrapper</b>, <b>T</b> otherwise.

generally useful. <a href="../../people/doug_gregor.html">Douglas
