An adapter class that allows a const member function that takes a single argument to be called as a binary function object when initialized with a pointer argument.

template <class Result, class Type, class Arg>
class const_mem_fun1_t
 : public binary_function<const Type *, Arg, Result>  
{
    explicit const_mem_fun1_t(Result (Type::* _Pm)(Arg) const);
    Result operator()(const Type* _Pleft, Arg right) const;
 };

_Pm
A pointer to the member function of class Type to be converted to a function object.

_Pleft
The const object that the _Pm member function is called on.

right
The argument that is being given to _Pm.

An adaptable binary function.

The template class stores a copy of _Pm, which must be a pointer to a member function of class Type, in a private member object. It defines its member function operator() as returning ( _Pleft->* *Pm)(*Right) const.

The constructor of const_mem_fun1_t is not usually used directly; the helper function mem_fun is used to adapt member functions. See mem_fun for an example of how to use member function adaptors.
