 <h2>Q: Why (function) cloning? </h2>
 <p> In November and December of 2000, the issue of cloning vs. reference counting was debated at length and it was decided that cloning gave more predictable semantics. I won't rehash the discussion here, but if it cloning is incorrect for a particular application a reference-counting allocator could be used. 

-<h2>Q: How do I assign from a member function?</h2>
-<p> Member function assignments are not included directly in <code>boost::function</code> because they do not conform to the syntax of function objects. Several libraries exist to wrap member functions in a function object and/or bind the first argument to the member function (the <code>this</code> pointer). A few libraries are <a href="tutorial.html#member_func">described</a> in the <a href="../index.html">Boost.Function</a> documentation.

+<p> Copying function object wrappers may require allocating memory for a copy of the function object target. The default allocator may be replaced with a faster custom allocator or one may choose to allow the function object wrappers to only store function object targets by reference (using <a href="../bind/ref.html"><code>ref</code></a>) if the cost of this cloning becomes prohibitive.

 <h3>Invocation efficiency</h3>
 <p> With a properly inlining compiler, an invocation of a function object requires one call through a function pointer. If the call is to a free function pointer, an additional call must be made to that function pointer (unless the compiler has very powerful interprocedural analysis).
@ -80,8 +80,6 @@ And, of course, function pointers have several advantages over Boost.Function:

 <p> In Boost.Function, an alternative but equivalent approach was taken using free functions instead of virtual functions. The Boost.Function object essentially holds two pointers to make a valid target call: a void pointer to the function object it contains and a void pointer to an "invoker" that can call the function object, given the function pointer. This invoker function performs the argument and return value conversions Boost.Function provides. A third pointer points to a free function called the "manager", which handles the cloning and destruction of function objects. The scheme is typesafe because the only functions that actually handle the function object, the invoker and the manager, are instantiated given the type of the function object, so they can safely cast the incoming void pointer (the function object pointer) to the appropriate type.

-<p> A compiler with strong interprocedural analysis could significantly reduce the overhead associated with virtual function calls such that the alternative used by Boost.Function is less efficient. No compiler has yet been found where this is true, but when it does occur the BOOST_FUNCTION_USE_VIRTUAL_FUNCTIONS macro can be defined to revert to the simpler implementation based on virtual functions.

 <h2><a name="acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</a></h2>
 <p> Many people were involved in the construction of this library. William Kempf, Jesse Jones and Karl Nelson were all extremely helpful in isolating an interface and scope for the library. John Maddock managed the formal review, and many reviewers gave excellent comments on interface, implementation, and documentation.

Douglas Gregor	647693dfc9	function_base.hpp: - Make manager and functor members of function_base public instead of protected, because attempt to make HP aCC compile Boost.Function function_template.hpp: - HP aCC seems to believe that the functor and manager members inherited from function_base are inaccessible. So qualify them with the function_base base class. [SVN r12298]	2002-01-13 16:12:26 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	d48fa26030	Renamed BOOST_MSVC_ONLY to BOOST_FUNCTION_TARGET_FIX [SVN r12145]	2001-12-24 17:11:11 +00:00

John Maddock	47599fb625	Added inline modifier to trivial_manager - without this, some compilers (VC6) generate linker errors, in any case it is an ODR violation to define this function in every translation unit. [SVN r11984]	2001-12-09 12:49:09 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	1a7478bbd1	Updated docs to reflect changes in code: - assignments/constructors that took const F& now take F - no need to use &free_function for assignment from free functions, unless using MSVC6.5 [SVN r11946]	2001-12-05 23:16:39 +00:00

Douglas Gregor	083767f67a	Taking function objects by value instead of as references-to-const. This does not work on MSVC6.5, so the BOOST_MSVC_ONLY macro was added to make them references-to-const for only that compiler. - Borland C++ no longer requires hacks to make function pointers work - On any compiler other than MSVC, free functions can be assigned to Boost.Function objects without the explicit '&' [SVN r11943]	2001-12-05 22:35:32 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	8cbd121969	function_base.hpp: - Add trivial_manager that does nothing but copy object pointers - Add is_ref to determine if a type is a reference_wrapper - Add function_obj_ref_tag for reference_wrappers - Teach get_function_tag about reference_wrappers function_template.hpp: - Add assign_to overload for reference_wrappers (these don't throw) [SVN r11875]	2001-12-03 16:28:33 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	2e67e2126b	reference.html: - Document semantics of reference_wrapper usage tutorial.html: - Add short discussion and example of ref() and cref() [SVN r11874]	2001-12-03 16:26:19 +00:00

Douglas Gregor	a657e5c812	Reversed prior commit - tests passing references for the implicit object parameter to an unbound member function pointer have been added again. [SVN r11732]	2001-11-19 20:57:57 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	cc3a33a19c	function_template.hpp: - Use boost::mem_fn internally to deal with calls to unbound member functions. [SVN r11731]	2001-11-19 20:56:52 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	a4c09a92d1	Generates the functionN.hpp headers [SVN r11730]	2001-11-19 20:32:07 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	b8e4cdab2f	function_base.hpp: - Updated any_pointer and manager classes to deal with member function pointers directly, so no allocation is required when using them. - Removed include of boost/mem_fn.hpp function_template.hpp: - Many macros that were in the functionN.hpp headers have been moved here and are now generated on-the-fly using BOOST_JOIN - Added invokers for pointers to member functions - Revised pointer to member function handling code to not perform any allocations/deallocations - Added guards so that multiple inclusion of function_template.hpp will only include its dependencies once. functionN.hpp: - Headers regenerated [SVN r11729]	2001-11-19 20:30:18 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	d37d210685	function_n_test.cpp: function_test.cpp: - Removed use of (previously existing) ability to use references for the first parameter to an unbound pointer-to-member function. Only pointer-like entities are allowed. [SVN r11728]	2001-11-19 20:19:23 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	11c56da46f	index.html: - Removed reference to BOOST_FUNCTION_USE_VIRTUAL_FUNCTIONS [SVN r11727]	2001-11-19 14:57:08 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	3f13d39604	function_base.hpp: function_template.hpp: - Removed implementation based on virtual functions. Such an implementation can't meet exception safety requirements made by the manager/invoker version. [SVN r11726]	2001-11-19 14:52:04 +00:00
Douglas Gregor	dd76ed757b	Removed question about member function pointers since they are now supported [SVN r11628]	2001-11-07 20:16:09 +00:00
