【boost】BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION体验

c++11里支持使用lambda在函数内定义本地嵌套函数，将一些算法的判断式定义为本地函数可以使代码更加清晰，同时声明和调用靠近也使得更容易维护。遗憾的是公司开发平台任然停留在vs2008，使用boost库的lambda表达式来模拟实在是有些笨拙与晦涩。

偶然在论坛上看见boost1.50版本后引入了BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION宏，官方简介如下：

Local Functions

Local functions are defined using macros from the header file boost/local_function.hpp. The macros must be used from within a declarative context (this is a limitation with respect to C++11 lambda functions which can instead be declared also within expressions):

#include <boost/local_function.hpp> // This library header.



...

{ // Some declarative context.

    ...

    result-type BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(parameters) {

        body-code

    } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(name)

    ...

}


使用宏的方式来定义了一个嵌套的函数（虽然只是看起来像），但是也使得我们有另一种选择。BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION使用非常简单，官方示例代码如下：

 1 int main(void) {                            // Some local scope.

 2     int sum = 0, factor = 10;               // Variables in scope to bind.

 3 

 4     void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(const bind factor, bind& sum, int num) {

 5         sum += factor * num;

 6     } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(add)

 7 

 8     add(1);                                 // Call the local function.

 9     int nums[] = {2, 3};

10     std::for_each(nums, nums + 2, add);     // Pass it to an algorithm.

11 

12     BOOST_TEST(sum == 60);                  // Assert final summation value.

13     return boost::report_errors();

14 }
