【boost】BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION体验

c++11里支持使用lambda在函数内定义本地嵌套函数，将一些算法的判断式定义为本地函数可以使代码更加清晰，同时声明和调用靠近也使得更容易维护。遗憾的是公司开发平台任然停留在vs2008，使用boost库的lambda表达式来模拟实在是有些笨拙与晦涩。

偶然在论坛上看见boost1.50版本后引入了BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION宏，官方简介如下：

Local Functions

Local functions are defined using macros from the header file boost/local_function.hpp. The macros must be used from within a declarative context (this is a limitation with respect to C++11 lambda functions which can instead be declared also within expressions):

#include <boost/local_function.hpp> // This library header.

...
{ // Some declarative context.
    ...
    result-type BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(parameters) {
        body-code
    } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(name)
    ...
}

使用宏的方式来定义了一个嵌套的函数（虽然只是看起来像），但是也使得我们有另一种选择。BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION使用非常简单，官方示例代码如下：

 int main(void) {                            // Some local scope.
     int sum = , factor = ;               // Variables in scope to bind.

     void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(const bind factor, bind& sum, int num) {
         sum += factor * num;
     } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(add)

     add();                                 // Call the local function.
     int nums[] = {, };
     std::for_each(nums, nums + , add);     // Pass it to an algorithm.

     BOOST_TEST(sum == );                  // Assert final summation value.
     return boost::report_errors();
 }
