Adaptors for pointers to functions
Function Objects
Collaboration diagram for Adaptors for pointers to functions:

## Classes

class | std::pointer_to_binary_function< _Arg1, _Arg2, _Result >
class | std::pointer_to_unary_function< _Arg, _Result >

## Functions

template<typename _Arg , typename _Result >
pointer_to_unary_function < _Arg, _Result > | std::ptr_fun (_Result(*__x)(_Arg))
template<typename _Arg1 , typename _Arg2 , typename _Result >
pointer_to_binary_function < _Arg1, _Arg2, _Result > | std::ptr_fun (_Result(*__x)(_Arg1, _Arg2))

## Detailed Description

The advantage of function objects over pointers to functions is that the objects in the standard library declare nested typedefs describing their argument and result types with uniform names (e.g., `result_type` from the base classes `unary_function` and `binary_function`). Sometimes those typedefs are required, not just optional.

Adaptors are provided to turn pointers to unary (single-argument) and binary (double-argument) functions into function objects. The long-winded functor `pointer_to_unary_function` is constructed with a function pointer `f`, and its `operator()` called with argument `x` returns `f(x)`. The functor `pointer_to_binary_function` does the same thing, but with a double-argument `f` and `operator()`.

The function `ptr_fun` takes a pointer-to-function `f` and constructs an instance of the appropriate functor.
