Detailed Description

sigc::hide() alters an arbitrary functor in that it adds a parameter whose value is ignored on invocation of the returned functor.

Thus you can discard one argument of a signal.

You may optionally specify the zero-based position of the parameter to ignore as a template argument. The default is to ignore the last parameter. (A value of -1 adds a parameter at the end so sigc::hide<-1>() gives the same result as sigc::hide().)

The type of the parameter can optionally be specified if not deduced.

Examples:
void foo(int, int);
// single argument hiding ...
sigc::hide(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the back and calls foo(1,2)
sigc::hide<-1>(&foo)(1,2,3); // same as sigc::hide(&foo)(1,2,3) (calls foo(1,2))
sigc::hide<0>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the beginning and calls foo(2,3)
sigc::hide<1>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter in the middle and calls foo(1,3)
sigc::hide<2>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the back and calls foo(1,2)

The functor sigc::hide() returns can be directly passed into sigc::signal::connect().

Example:
sigc::signal<void(int)> some_signal;
void foo();
some_signal.connect(sigc::hide(&foo));

sigc::hide() can be nested in order to discard multiple arguments.

Example:
// multiple argument hiding ...
sigc::hide(sigc::hide(& foo))(1,2,3,4); // adds two dummy parameters at the back and calls
foo(1,2)

sigc::hide_return() alters an arbitrary functor by dropping its return value, thus converting it to a void functor.

Function Documentation

template <int I_location, typename T_functor >
decltype(auto) sigc::hide ( const T_functor &  func)
inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::hide_functor which adds a dummy parameter to the passed functor.

The optional template argument I_location specifies the zero-based position of the dummy parameter in the returned functor (-1 stands for the last parameter).

Parameters
funcFunctor that should be wrapped.
Returns
Adaptor that executes func, ignoring the value of the dummy parameter.
template <typename T_functor >
decltype(auto) sigc::hide ( const T_functor &  func)
inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::hide_functor which adds a dummy parameter to the passed functor.

This overload adds a dummy parameter at the back of the functor's parameter list.

Parameters
funcFunctor that should be wrapped.
Returns
Adaptor that executes func, ignoring the value of the last parameter.
template <typename T_functor >
retype_return_functor<void, T_functor> sigc::hide_return ( const T_functor &  functor)
inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::retype_return_functor which drops the return value of the passed functor.

Parameters
functorFunctor that should be wrapped.
Returns
Adaptor that executes functor dropping its return value.
