</ul>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>
The header <a href="../../boost/ref.hpp">boost/ref.hpp</a> defines the class template
<b>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;</b>, the two functions <b>boost::ref</b> and
<b>boost::cref</b> that return instances of
<b>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;</b>, and the two traits classes <b>boost::is_reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;</b> and <b>boost::unwrap_reference&lt;T&gt;</b>.
</p>
<p>
The purpose of <b>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;</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&lt;T&gt;</b> provides an implicit
conversion to <b>T &amp;</b>. This usually allows the function templates to
work on references unmodified.
</p>
<p>
<b>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;</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&lt;X&gt;(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&lt;X const&gt;(x)</b>.
</p>
<p>The expression <b>boost::is_reference_wrapper&lt;T&gt;::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&lt;T&gt;::type</b>
is <b>T::type</b> if <b>T</b> is a
<b>reference_wrapper</b>, <b>T</b> otherwise.
