Detailed Description

template<class UnaryFunctor>
class eoUnaryFunctorCounter< UnaryFunctor >

Generic counter class that counts the number of times a unary function is used.

Add a unary function through its ctor and use this class instead of it.

It is derived from eoValueParam so you can add it to a monitor.

Example: suppose you have an eoEvalFunc called myeval, to count the number of evaluations, just define:

eoUnaryFunctorCounter<void, EoType> evalCounter(myeval);

and use evalCounter now instead of myeval.

Examples:
t-eoFunctor.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

template<class UnaryFunctor>
UnaryFunctor::result_type eoUnaryFunctorCounter< UnaryFunctor >::operator() ( typename UnaryFunctor::first_argument_type  _arg1) [inline]

Calls the embedded function and increments the counter.

Note for MSVC users, if this code does not compile, you are quite likely trying to count a function that has a non-void return type. Don't look at us, look at the MSVC builders. Code like "return void;" is perfectly legal according to the ANSI standard, but the guys at Microsoft didn't get to implementing it yet.

We had two choices: assuming (and compiling ) code that returns void or code that returns non-void. Given that in EO most functors return void, it was chosen to support void.

But also please let me know if you have a compiler that defines _MSC_VER (lot's of windows compilers do), but is quite capable of compiling return void; type of code. We'll try to change the signature then.

You happy GNU (and other compiler) users will not have a problem with this.
