+
+[section Brief Description]
+
+The template __boost__factory__ lets you encapsulate a `new` expression
+as a function object, __boost__value_factory__ encapsulates a constructor
+invocation without `new`.
+
+ __boost__factory__<T*>()(arg1,arg2,arg3)
+ // same as new T(arg1,arg2,arg3)
+
+ __boost__value_factory__<T>()(arg1,arg2,arg3)
+ // same as T(arg1,arg2,arg3)
+
+For technical reasons the arguments to the function objects have to be
+LValues. A factory that also accepts RValues can be composed using the
+__boost__forward_adapter__ or __boost__bind__.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Background]
+
+In traditional Object Oriented Programming a Factory is an object implementing
+an interface of one or more methods that construct objects conforming to known
+interfaces.
+
+ // assuming a_concrete_class and another_concrete_class are derived
+ // from an_abstract_class
+
+ class a_factory
+ {
+ public:
+ virtual an_abstract_class* create() const = 0;
+ virtual ~a_factory() { }
+ };
+
+ class a_concrete_factory : public a_factory
+ {
+ public:
+ virtual an_abstract_class* create() const
+ {
+ return new a_concrete_class();
+ }
+ };
+
+ class another_concrete_factory : public a_factory
+ {
+ public:
+ virtual an_abstract_class* create() const
+ {
+ return new another_concrete_class();
+ }
+ };
+
+ // [...]
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ __boost__ptr_map__<__std__string__,a_factory> factories;
+
+ // [...]
+
+ factories.insert("a_name",std::auto_ptr<a_factory>(
+ new a_concrete_factory));
+ factories.insert("another_name",std::auto_ptr<a_factory>(
+ new another_concrete_factory));
+
+ // [...]
+
+ std::auto_ptr<an_abstract_factory> x = factories[some_name]->create();
+
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+This approach has several drawbacks. The most obvious one is that there is
+lots of boilerplate code. In other words there is too much code to express
+a rather simple intention. We could use templates to get rid of some of it
+but the approach remains inflexible:
+
+ o We may want a factory that takes some arguments that are forwarded to
+ the constructor,
+ o we will probably want to use smart pointers,
+ o we may want several member functions to create different kinds of
+ objects,
+ o we might not necessarily need a polymorphic base class for the objects,
+ o as we will see, we do not need a factory base class at all,
+ o we might want to just call the constructor - without `new` to create
+ an object on the stack, and
+ o finally we might want to use customized memory management.
+
+Experience has shown that using function objects and generic Boost components
+for their composition, Design Patterns that describe callback mechasisms
+(typically requiring a high percentage of boilerplate code with pure Object
+Oriented methodology) become implementable with just few code lines and without
+extra classes.
+
+Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two class
+templates, __boost__value_factory__ and __boost__factory__, that encasulate
+object construction via direct application of the constructor and the `new`
+operator, respectively.
+
+We let the function objects forward their arguments to the construction
+expressions they encapsulate. Overthis __boost__factory__ optionally allows
+the use of smart pointers and __std_allocators__.
+
+Compile-time polymorphism can be used where appropriate,
+
+ template< class T >
+ void do_something()
+ {
+ // [...]
+ T x = T(a,b);
+
+ // for conceptually similar objects x we neither need virtual
+ // functions nor a common base class in this context.
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+Now, to allow inhomogenous signaturs for the constructors of the types passed
+in for `T` we can use __value_factory__ and __boost__bind__ to normalize between
+them.
+
+ template< class ValueFactory >
+ void do_something(ValueFactory make_obj = ValueFactory())
+ {
+ // [...]
+ typename ValueFactory::result_type x = make_obj(a,b);
+
+ // for conceptually similar objects x we neither need virtual
+ // functions nor a common base class in this context.
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ // [...]
+
+ do_something(__boost__value_factory__<X>());
+ do_something(boost::bind(__boost__value_factory__<Y>(),_1,5,_2));
+ // construct X(a,b) and Y(a,5,b), respectively.
+
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+Maybe we want our objects to outlive the function's scope, in this case we
+have to use dynamic allocation;
+
+ template< class Factory >
+ whatever do_something(Factory new_obj = Factory())
+ {
+ typename Factory::result_type ptr = new_obj(a,b);
+
+ // again, no common base class or virtual functions needed,
+ // we could enforce a polymorphic base by writing e.g.
+ // boost::shared_ptr<base>
+ // instead of
+ // typename Factory::result_type
+ // above.
+ // Note that we are also free to have the type erasure happen
+ // somewhere else (e.g. in the constructor of this function's
+ // result type).
+
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+ // [... call do_something like above but with __factory__ instead
+ // of __value_factory__]
+
+Although we might have created polymorphic objects in the previous example,
+we have used compile time polymorphism for the factory. If we want to erase
+the type of the factory and thus allow polymorphism at run time, we can
+use __boost_function__ to do so. The first example can be rewritten as
+follows.
+
+ typedef boost::function< an_abstract_class*() > a_factory;
+
+ // [...]
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ __std__map__<__std__string__,a_factory> factories;
+
+ // [...]
+
+ factories["a_name"] = __boost__factory__<a_concrete_class*>();
+ factories["another_name"] =
+ __boost__factory__<another_concrete_class*>();
+
+ // [...]
+ }
+
+Of course we can just as easy create factories that take arguments and/or
+return __smart_pointers__.

+
+[heading Description]
+
+Function object template that dynamically constructs a pointee object for
+the type of pointer given as template argument. Smart pointers may be used
+for the template argument, given that `boost::pointee<Pointer>::type` yields
+the pointee type.
+
+If an __allocator__ is given, it is used for memory allocation and the
+placement form of the `new` operator is used to construct the object.
+A function object that calls the destructor and deallocates the memory
+with a copy of the Allocator is used for the second constructor argument
+of `Pointer` (thus it must be a __smart_pointer__ that provides a suitable
+constructor, such as __boost__shared_ptr__).
+
+If a third template argument is `factory_passes_alloc_to_smart_pointer`,
+the allocator itself is used for the third constructor argument of `Pointer`
+(__boost__shared_ptr__ then uses the allocator to manage the memory of its
+seperately allocated reference counter).

+[section Acknowledgements]
+
+Eric Niebler requested a function to invoke a type's constructor (with the
+arguments supplied as a Tuple) as a Fusion feature. These Factory utilities are
+a factored-out generalization of this idea.
+
+Dave Abrahams suggested Smart Pointer support for exception safety, providing
+useful hints for the implementation.
+
+Joel de Guzman's documentation style was copied from Fusion.
+
+Further, I want to thank Peter Dimov for sharing his insights on language
+details and their evolution.

+<p>
+ Experience has shown that using function objects and generic Boost components
+ for their composition, Design Patterns that describe callback mechasisms (typically
+ requiring a high percentage of boilerplate code with pure Object Oriented methodology)
+ become implementable with just few code lines and without extra classes.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Factories are callback mechanisms for constructors, so we provide two class
+ templates, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">value_factory</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">factory</span></code>,
+ that encasulate object construction via direct application of the constructor
+ and the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">new</span></code> operator, respectively.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We let the function objects forward their arguments to the construction expressions
+ they encapsulate. Overthis <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">factory</span></code>
+ optionally allows the use of smart pointers and Allocators.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Compile-time polymorphism can be used where appropriate,

+<p>
+ Function object template that dynamically constructs a pointee object for
+ the type of pointer given as template argument. Smart pointers may be used
+ for the template argument, given that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pointee</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">Pointer</span><span class="special">&gt;::</span><span class="identifier">type</span></code>

+ If an <span class="underline">_allocator</span>_ is given, it is used

+ for the second constructor argument of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Pointer</span></code>
+ (thus it must be a __smart<span class="underline">pointer</span>_
+ that provides a suitable constructor, such as boost::shared_ptr).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If a third template argument is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">factory_passes_alloc_to_smart_pointer</span></code>,
+ the allocator itself is used for the third constructor argument of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Pointer</span></code> (boost::shared_ptr then uses the allocator

+[section Brief Description]
+
+`boost::forward_adapter` provides a reusable adapter template for function
+objects. It forwards RValues as references to const, while leaving LValues
+as-is.
+
+ struct g // function object that only accept LValues
+ {
+ template< typename T0, typename T1, typename T2 >
+ void operator()(T0 & t0, T1 & t1, T2 & t2) const;
+
+ typedef void result_type;
+ };
+
+ // Adapted version also accepts RValues and forwards
+ // them as references to const, LValues as-is
+ typedef boost::forward_adapter<g> f;
+
+Another adapter, `boost::lighweight_forward_adapter` allows forwarding with
+some help from the user accepting and unwrapping reference wrappers (see
+__boost_ref__) for reference arguments, const qualifying all other arguments.
+
+The target functions must be compatible with __boost_result_of__, and so are
+the adapters.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Background]
+
+Let's suppose we have some function `f` that we can call like this:
+
+ f(123,a_variable);
+
+Now we want to write another, generic function `g` that can be called the
+same way and returns some object that calls `f` with the same arguments.
+
+ f(123,a_variable) == g(f,123,a_variable).call_f()
+
+[heading Why would we want to do it, anyway?]
+
+Maybe we want to run `f` several times. Or maybe we want to run it within
+another thread. Maybe we just want to encapsulate the call expression for now,
+and then use it with other code that allows to compose more complex expressions
+in order to decompose it with C++ templates and have the compiler generate some
+machinery that eventually calls `f` at runtime (in other words; apply a
+technique that is commonly referred to as Expression Templates).
+
+[heading Now, how do we do it?]
+
+The bad news is: It's impossible.
+
+That is so because there is a slight difference between a variable and an
+expression that evaluates to its value: Given
+
+ int y;
+ int const z = 0;
+
+and
+
+ template< typename T > void func1(T & x);
+
+we can call
+
+ func1(y); // x is a reference to a non-const object
+ func1(z); // x is a reference to a const object
+
+where
+
+ func1(1); // fails to compile.
+
+This way we can safely have `func1` store its reference argument and the
+compiler keeps us from storing a reference to an object with temporary lifetime.
+
+It is important to realize that non-constness and whether an object binds to a
+non-const reference parameter are two different properties. The latter is the
+distinction between LValues and RValues. The names stem from the left hand side
+and the right hand side of assignment expressions, thus LValues are typically
+the ones you can assign to, and RValues the temporary results from the right
+hand side expression.
+
+ y = 1+2; // a is LValue, 1+2 is the expression producing the RValue,
+ // 1+2 = a; // usually makes no sense.
+
+ func1(y); // works, because y is an LValue
+ // func1(1+2); // fails to compile, because we only got an RValue.
+
+If we add const qualification on the parameter, our function also accepts
+RValues:
+
+ template< typename T > void func2(T const & x);
+
+ // [...] function scope:
+ func2(1); // x is a reference to a const temporary, object,
+ func2(y); // x is a reference to a const object, while y is not const, and
+ func2(z); // x is a reference to a const object, just like z.
+
+In all cases, the argument `x` in `func2` is a const-qualified LValue.
+We can use function overloading to identify non-const LValues:
+
+ template< typename T > void func3(T const & x); // #1
+ template< typename T > void func3(T & x); // #2
+
+ // [...] function scope:
+ func3(1); // x is a reference to a const, temporary object in #1,
+ func3(y); // x is a reference to a non-const object in #2, and
+ func3(z); // x is a reference to a const object in #1.
+
+Note that all arguments `x` in the overloaded function `func3` are LValues.
+In fact, there is no way to transport RValues into a function as-is in C++98.
+Also note that we can't distinguish between what used to be a const qualified
+LValue and an RValue.
+
+That's as close as we can get to a generic forwarding function `g` as
+described above by the means of C++ 98. See __the_forwarding_problem__ for a
+very detailed discussion including solutions that require language changes.
+
+Now, for actually implementing it, we need 2^N overloads for N parameters
+(each with and without const qualifier) for each number of arguments
+(that is 2^(Nmax+1) - 2^Nmin). Right, that means the compile-time complexity
+is O(2^N), however the factor is low so it works quite well for a reasonable
+number (< 10) of arguments.

+
+[heading Description]
+
+Function object adapter template whose instances are callable with LValue and
+RValue arguments. RValue arguments are forwarded as reference-to-const typed
+LValues.
+
+An arity can be given as second, numeric non-type template argument to restrict
+forwarding to a specific arity.
+If a third, numeric non-type template argument is present, the second and third
+template argument are treated as minimum and maximum arity, respectively.
+Specifying an arity can be helpful to improve the readability of diagnostic
+messages and compile time performance.
+
+__boost_result_of__ can be used to determine the result types of specific call
+expressions.

+[section Acknowledgements]
+
+As these utilities are factored out of the __boost_fusion__ functional module,
+I want to thank Dan Marsden and Joel de Guzman for letting me participate in the
+development of that great library in the first place.
+
+Further, I want to credit the authors of the references below, for their
+in-depth investigation of the problem and the solution implemented here.
+
+Last but not least I want to thank Vesa Karnoven and Paul Mensonides for the
+Boost Preprocessor library. Without it, I would have ended up with an external
+code generator for this one.

+<p>

+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">func1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// x is a reference to a non-const object
+</span><span class="identifier">func1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// x is a reference to a const object

+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">func1</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// fails to compile.
+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ This way we can safely have <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">func1</span></code>
+ store its reference argument and the compiler keeps us from storing a reference
+ to an object with temporary lifetime.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It is important to realize that non-constness and whether an object binds to
+ a non-const reference parameter are two different properties. The latter is
+ the distinction between LValues and RValues. The names stem from the left hand
+ side and the right hand side of assignment expressions, thus LValues are typically
+ the ones you can assign to, and RValues the temporary results from the right
+ hand side expression.
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">y</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="comment">// a is LValue, 1+2 is the expression producing the RValue,

+</span><span class="comment">// func1(1+2); // fails to compile, because we only got an RValue.
+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ If we add const qualification on the parameter, our function also accepts RValues:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">func2</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">);</span>
+
+<span class="comment">// [...] function scope:

+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ In all cases, the argument <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code>
+ in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">func2</span></code> is a const-qualified
+ LValue. We can use function overloading to identify non-const LValues:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">func3</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// #1
+</span><span class="keyword">template</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="keyword">typename</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">func3</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// #2
+</span>
+<span class="comment">// [...] function scope:
+</span><span class="identifier">func3</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// x is a reference to a const, temporary object in #1,
+</span><span class="identifier">func3</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// x is a reference to a non-const object in #2, and
+</span><span class="identifier">func3</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// x is a reference to a const object in #1.
+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ Note that all arguments <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span></code> in
+ the overloaded function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">func3</span></code>
+ are LValues. In fact, there is no way to transport RValues into a function
+ as-is in C++98. Also note that we can't distinguish between what used to be
+ a const qualified LValue and an RValue.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ That's as close as we can get to a generic forwarding function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">g</span></code> as described above by the means of C++
+ 98. See <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1385.htm" target="_top">The
+ Forwarding Problem</a> for a very detailed discussion including solutions
+ that require language changes.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Now, for actually implementing it, we need 2^N overloads for N parameters (each
+ with and without const qualifier) for each number of arguments (that is 2^(Nmax+1)
+ - 2^Nmin). Right, that means the compile-time complexity is O(2^N), however
+ the factor is low so it works quite well for a reasonable number (&lt; 10)
+ of arguments.

+<p>
+ The macro BOOST_FUNCTIONAL_LIGHTWEIGHT_FORWARD_ADAPTER_MAX_ARITY can be defined
+ to set the maximum call arity. It defaults to 10.

+ Complexity
+ </h4>
+<p>
+ Preprocessing time: O(N), where N is the arity limit. Compile time: O(N),
+ where N is the effective arity of a call. Run time: O(0) if the compiler
+ inlines, O(1) otherwise.

+<p>
+ As these utilities are factored out of the Boost.Fusion
+ functional module, I want to thank Dan Marsden and Joel de Guzman for letting
+ me participate in the development of that great library in the first place.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Further, I want to credit the authors of the references below, for their in-depth
+ investigation of the problem and the solution implemented here.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Last but not least I want to thank Vesa Karnoven and Paul Mensonides for the
+ Boost Preprocessor library. Without it, I would have ended up with an external
+ code generator for this one.
