Using lambdas with the STL
Change code like:
// Note that in order for this to work the second argument must not be a reference. // jhrg 8/20/13 static bool name_eq(D4Group *g, const string name) { return g->name() == name; } groupsIter g = find_if(grp_begin(), grp_end(), bind2nd(ptr_fun(name_eq), grp_name));
to:
auto g = find_if(grp_begin(), grp_end(), [grp_name](const D4Group *g) { return g->name() == grp_name; }); ^ ^ ^ 1 2 3
Where [grp_name](const D4Group *g) { return g->name() == grp_name; } is a C++ Lambda function (anonymous function). This lambda function use uses a 'capture.' The square braces at #1 name the captured variable. Its value is taken from the current environment when the lambda is instantiated at runtime and used at #3 in the function. At #2 the argument to the lambda function is declared as a const pointer so the compiler knows the function won't be modifying the object. C++ STL functions like find_if() take predicates (which is what this lambda function is) and that can streamline code quite a bit.
