They are additionally documented in the online documentation, a copy of which is also shipped with the library source code (in .../docs/html/documentation.html). You can also read the documentation on SGI's site, which is still running even though the code is not maintained.
NB that the following notes are pulled from various comments all over the place, so they may seem stilted.
The identity_element
functions are not part of the C++ standard; SGI provided them as an extension. Its argument is an operation, and its return value is the identity element for that operation. It is overloaded for addition and multiplication, and you can overload it for your own nefarious operations.
As an extension to the binders, SGI provided composition functors and wrapper functions to aid in their creation. The unary_compose
functor is constructed from two functions/functors, f
and g
. Calling operator()
with a single argument x
returns f
(g(x)). The function compose1
takes the two functions and constructs a unary_compose
variable for you.
binary_compose
is constructed from three functors, f
, g1
, and g2
. Its operator()
returns f
(g1(x),g2(x)). The function takes f, g1, and g2, and constructs the binary_compose
instance for you. For example, if f
returns an int, then
int answer = (compose2(f,g1,g2))(x);
int temp1 = g1(x); int temp2 = g2(x); int answer = f(temp1,temp2);
As an extension, SGI provided a functor called identity
. When a functor is required but no operations are desired, this can be used as a pass-through. Its operator()
returns its argument unchanged.
select1st
and select2nd
are extensions provided by SGI. Their operator()s
take a std::pair
as an argument, and return either the first member or the second member, respectively. They can be used (especially with the composition functors) to "strip" data from a sequence before performing the remainder of an algorithm.
The operator()
of the project1st
functor takes two arbitrary arguments and returns the first one, while project2nd
returns the second one. They are extensions provided by SGI.
These three functors are each constructed from a single arbitrary variable/value. Later, their operator()s
completely ignore any arguments passed, and return the stored value.

The helper creator functions constant0

each take a "result" argument and construct variables of the appropriate functor type.
