Is it possible to do the following.
Say my boost tuple has <String, int>
I would like to use std::transform + mem_fun to insert only the String element in a corresponding vector. Is it possible or are we required to use a loop and push_back(get<0)
Ie the following doesn't like to compile... (unknown types...)
result.resize(storage.size())
std::transform(storage.begin(), storage.end(), result.begin(), std::mem_fun(&boost::get<0>));
Here is an example (trying one
of the comments):
#include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
std::vector< boost::tuple<std::string, int> > storage;
std::vector< std::string> result;
result.resize(storage.size());
std::transform(storage.begin(), storage.end(), result.begin(), &boost::get<0, boost::tuple<std::string, int> >);
return 0;
}
Output:
