It is a form of partial function application +// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_application. +// +// Like `std::bind()` it is implicitly convertible to `std::function`. In +// particular, it may be used as a simpler replacement for `std::bind()` in most +// cases, as it does not require placeholders to be specified. More +// importantly, it provides more reliable correctness guarantees than +// `std::bind()`. +// +// absl::bind_front(a...) can be seen as storing the results of +// std::make_tuple(a...). +// +// Example: Binding a free function. +// +// int Minus(int a, int b) { return a - b; } +// +// assert(absl::bind_front(Minus)(3, 2) == 3 - 2); +// assert(absl::bind_front(Minus, 3)(2) == 3 - 2); +// assert(absl::bind_front(Minus, 3, 2)() == 3 - 2); +// +// Example: Binding a member function. +// +// struct Math { +// int Double(int a) const { return 2 * a; } +// }; +// +// Math math; +// +// assert(absl::bind_front(&Math::Double)(&math, 3) == 2 * 3); +// // Stores a pointer to math inside the functor. +// assert(absl::bind_front(&Math::Double, &math)(3) == 2 * 3); +// // Stores a copy of math inside the functor. +// assert(absl::bind_front(&Math::Double, math)(3) == 2 * 3); +// // Stores std::unique_ptr<Math> inside the functor. +// assert(absl::bind_front(&Math::Double, +// std::unique_ptr<Math>(new Math))(3) == 2 * 3); +// +// Example: Using `absl::bind_front()`, instead of `std::bind()`, with +// `std::function`. +// +// class FileReader { +// public: +// void ReadFileAsync(const std::string& filename, std::string* content, +// const std::function<void()>& done) { +// // Calls Executor::Schedule(std::function<void()>). +// Executor::DefaultExecutor()->Schedule( +// absl::bind_front(&FileReader::BlockingRead, this, +// filename, content, done)); +// } +// +// private: +// void BlockingRead(const std::string& filename, std::string* content, +// const std::function<void()>& done) { +// CHECK_OK(file::GetContents(filename, content, {})); +// done(); +// } +// }; +// +// `absl::bind_front()` stores bound arguments explicitly using the type passed +// rather than implicitly based on the type accepted by its functor. +// +// Example: Binding arguments explicitly. +// +// void LogStringView(absl::string_view sv) { +// LOG(INFO) << sv; +// } +// +// Executor* e = Executor::DefaultExecutor(); +// std::string s = "hello"; +// absl::string_view sv = s; +// +// // absl::bind_front(LogStringView, arg) makes a copy of arg and stores it. +// e->Schedule(absl::bind_front(LogStringView, sv)); // ERROR: dangling +// // string_view. +// +// e->Schedule(absl::bind_front(LogStringView, s)); // OK: stores a copy of +// // s. +// +// To store some of the arguments passed to `absl::bind_front()` by reference, +// use std::ref()` and `std::cref()`. +// +// Example: Storing some of the bound arguments by reference. +// +// class Service { +// public: +// void Serve(const Request& req, std::function<void()>* done) { +// // The request protocol buffer won't be deleted until done is called. +// // It's safe to store a reference to it inside the functor. +// Executor::DefaultExecutor()->Schedule( +// absl::bind_front(&Service::BlockingServe, this, std::cref(req), +// done)); +// } +// +// private: +// void BlockingServe(const Request& req, std::function<void()>* done); +// }; +// +// Example: Storing bound arguments by reference. +// +// void Print(const string& a, const string& b) { LOG(INFO) << a << b; } +// +// std::string hi = "Hello, "; +// std::vector<std::string> names = {"Chuk", "Gek"}; +// // Doesn't copy hi. +// for_each(names.begin(), names.end(), +// absl::bind_front(Print, std::ref(hi))); +// +// // DO NOT DO THIS: the functor may outlive "hi", resulting in +// // dangling references. +// foo->DoInFuture(absl::bind_front(Print, std::ref(hi), "Guest")); // BAD! +// auto f = absl::bind_front(Print, std::ref(hi), "Guest"); // BAD! + +#ifndef ABSL_FUNCTIONAL_BIND_FRONT_H_ +#define ABSL_FUNCTIONAL_BIND_FRONT_H_ + +#include "absl/functional/internal/front_binder.h" +#include "absl/utility/utility.h" + +namespace absl { +ABSL_NAMESPACE_BEGIN + +// Binds the first N arguments of an invocable object and stores them by value, +// except types of std::reference_wrapper which are 'unwound' and stored by +// reference. +template <class F, class...
