<p>
This library is composed of header files only. Therefore there is no pre-compiled
object file which needs to be installed. Programmers can simply instruct
the compiler where to find the library header files (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on GCC, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on MSVC, etc) and compile code
using the library.
</p>
<p>
The maximum number of functions to overload is given by the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX.html" title="Macro BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX">BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_OVERLOAD_MAX</a></code>
configuration macro. The maximum number of function parameters for each of
the specified function type is given by the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX.html" title="Macro BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX">BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_OVERLOADED_FUNCTION_CONFIG_ARITY_MAX</a></code>
configuration macro. All configuration macros have appropriate default values
when they are left undefined.

</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Note how each function type is passed as a template parameter of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code> using
the following syntax (this is <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/function" target="_top">Boost.Function</a>'s
preferred syntax):
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>result-type</em></span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="emphasis"><em>argument1-type</em></span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="emphasis"><em>argument2-type</em></span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="special">...)</span>
</pre>
<p>
Then the relative function pointers, function references, or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer_science)" target="_top">monomorphic
function</a> objects are passed to the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code>
constructor matching the order of the specified template parameters. <sup>[<a name="boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f0" href="#ftn.boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f0" class="footnote">2</a>]</sup> In the above example, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_s</span></code>
is passed as a function pointer (the function address is automatically taken
from the function name by the compiler), <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_i</span></code>
as a function reference, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_d</span></code>
as a function object.
</p>
<p>
All specified function types must have distinct parameters from one another
(so the overloaded calls can be resolved by this library). <sup>[<a name="boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f1" href="#ftn.boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f1" class="footnote">3</a>]</sup> In order to create an overloaded function object, it is necessary
to specify at least two function types (because there is nothing to overload
between one or zero functions).

<p>
For convenience, this library also provides the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>
function template which allows to create the overloaded function object without
explicitly specifying the function types. The function types are automatically
deduced from the specified functions and the appropriate <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code>
instantiation is returned by <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>
function template can be useful when used together with <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a>'s
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_AUTO</span></code> (or C++11 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">auto</span></code>). For example (see also <a href="../../../test/make_decl.cpp" target="_top"><code class="literal">make_decl.cpp</code></a>
and <a href="../../../test/identity.hpp" target="_top"><code class="literal">identity.hpp</code></a>):

</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Note how the overloaded function object <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity</span></code>
has been created specifying only the functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_s</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_i</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">identity_d</span></code> and without specifying the function
types <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span>
<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&amp;)</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">)</span></code>, and
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">)</span></code> as
required instead by <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code>.
Therefore, <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>
provides a more concise syntax in this context when compared with <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
Another case where <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>
can be useful is when the overloaded function object is passed to a function
template which can hold the specific <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/overloaded_function.html" title="Class template overloaded_function">boost::overloaded_function</a></code>
type using a template parameter. For example (see also <a href="../../../test/make_call.cpp" target="_top"><code class="literal">make_call.cpp</code></a>
and <a href="../../../test/identity.hpp" target="_top"><code class="literal">identity.hpp</code></a>):

The library implementation of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/make_overloaded_function.html" title="Function template make_overloaded_function">boost::make_overloaded_function</a></code>
uses <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a>
to automatically deduce some of the function types. In order to compile code
in <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a>
emulation mode, all types should be properly registered using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TYPE</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE</span></code>, or appropriate
<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a> headers
should be included (see <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a>
for more information). For the above examples, it is sufficient to include
the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a>
header that registers <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span></code>
(this library does not require to register <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">function</span></code>

C++ compiler is usually able to automatically promote a function name to

Function references are of the form <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>result-type </em></span></code><code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(&amp;)(</span></code><code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>argument1-type</em></span></code><code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">,</span> <span class="special">...)</span></code>.

how they lack of both <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">*</span></code> and
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">&amp;</span></code> when compared to function
pointers and function references). Finally, monomorphic function objects
are instances of classes with a non-template call operator of the form
<code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>result-type </em></span></code><code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">()(</span></code><code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>argument1-type</em></span></code><code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">,</span> <span class="special">...)</span></code>.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to support polymorphic function objects
(see <a href="http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/03/191744.php" target="_top">http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/03/191744.php</a>).

<div class="footnote"><p><sup>[<a id="ftn.boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f1" href="#boost_functional_overloadedfunction.tutorial.overloading.f1" class="para">3</a>] </sup>
Note that in C++ the function result type is not used for overload resolution
(to avoid making the overload resolution context dependent). Therefore,
at least one of the function parameters must be distinct for each specified
function type.

In most of the examples presented in this documentation, the Boost.Detail/LightweightTest
(<code class="literal">boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp</code>) macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TEST</span></code> is used to check correctness
conditions (conceptually similar to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">assert</span></code>).
A failure of the checked condition does not abort the execution of the program,
it will instead make <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">report_errors</span></code>
return a non-zero program exit code. Using Boost.Detail/LightweightTest allows
to add the examples to the library regression tests so to make sure that
they always compile and run correctly.
