<h3>Description</h3>
<tt>Mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> is an adaptor for member functions.  If <tt>X</tt> is some class
with a member function <tt>Result X::f(Arg)</tt> (that is, a member function
that takes one argument of type <tt>Arg</tt> and that returns a value of type
<tt>Result</tt> <A href="#1">[1]</A>), then a <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t&lt;Result, X, Arg&gt;</tt> is a
<A href="functors.html">function object</A> adaptor that makes it possible to call <tt>f</tt> as if
it were an ordinary function instead of a member function.
<P>
<tt>Mem_fun1_ref_t&lt;Result, X, Arg&gt;</tt>'s constructor takes a pointer to one of
<tt>X</tt>'s member functions.  Then, like all function objects, <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt>
has an <tt>operator()</tt> that allows the <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> to be invoked with
ordinary function call syntax.  In this case, <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt>'s
<tt>operator()</tt> takes two arguments; the first is of type <tt>X</tt> and the
second is of type <tt>Arg</tt>.
<P>
If <tt>F</tt> is a <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> that was constructed to use the member
function <tt>X::f</tt>, and if <tt>x</tt> is an object of type <tt>X</tt> and <tt>a</tt> is a
value of type <tt>Arg</tt>, then the expression <tt>F(x, a)</tt> is equivalent to
the expression <tt>x.f(a)</tt>.  The difference is simply that <tt>F</tt> can be
passed to STL algorithms whose arguments must be function objects.
<P>
<tt>Mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> is one of a family of member function adaptors.
These adaptors are useful if you want to combine generic programming
with inheritance and polymorphism, since, in C++, polymorphism
involves calling member functions through pointers or references.  In
fact, though, <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> is usually not as useful as
<tt><A href="mem_fun1_t.html">mem_fun1_t</A></tt>.  The difference between the two is that
<tt>mem_fun1_t</tt>'s first argument is a pointer to an object while
<tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt>'s argument is a reference to an object.  References,
unlike pointers, can't be stored in STL containers: pointers are
objects in their own right, but references are merely aliases.
<P>
As with many other adaptors, it is usually inconvenient to use 
<tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt>'s constructor directly.  It is usually better to use
the helper function <tt>mem_fun_ref</tt> <A href="#2">[2]</A> instead.
<h3>Example</h3>
Given a vector of vectors, extract one element from each vector.
<pre>
int main() {
  int A1[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  int A2[5] = {1, 1, 2, 3, 5};
  int A3[5] = {1, 4, 1, 5, 9};

  <A href="Vector.html">vector</A>&lt;vector&lt;int&gt; &gt; V;
  V.push_back(vector&lt;int&gt;(A1, A1 + 5));
  V.push_back(vector&lt;int&gt;(A2, A2 + 5));
  V.push_back(vector&lt;int&gt;(A3, A3 + 5));

  int indices[3] = {0, 2, 4};

  int&amp; (vector&lt;int&gt;::*extract)(vector&lt;int&gt;::size_type);
  extract = vector&lt;int&gt;::operator[];
  <A href="transform.html">transform</A>(V.begin(), V.end(), indices,
            <A href="ostream_iterator.html">ostream_iterator</A>&lt;int&gt;(cout, &quot;\n&quot;),
            mem_fun_ref(extract));
}

<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
The type <tt>Result</tt> is permitted to be <tt>void</tt>.  That is, this
adaptor may be used for functions that return no value.  However, this
presents implementation difficulties.  According to the draft C++
standard, it is possible to return from a <tt>void</tt> function by writing
<tt>return void</tt> instead of just <tt>return</tt>.  At present, however (early
1998), very few compilers support that feature.  As a substitute,
then, <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> uses partial specialization to support <tt>void</tt> member
functions.  If your compiler has not implemented partial
specialization, then you will not be able to use <tt>mem_fun1_ref_t</tt> with
member functions whose return type is <tt>void</tt>.
<P><A name="2">[2]</A>
This helper function was called <tt>mem_fun1_ref</tt> in drafts of the C++
standard, but it is called <tt>mem_fun_ref</tt> in the final standard.  This
implementation provides both versions for backward compatibility, but
<tt>mem_fun1_ref</tt> will be removed in a future release.
