Member variables 34 are not functions. Yet, like the <a class="link" href="../core/references.html" title="References"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ref</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code></a> 35 that acts like a nullary function returning a reference to the data, member 36 variables, when bound, act like a unary function, taking in a pointer or 37 reference to an object as its argument and returning a reference to the 38 bound member variable. For instance, given: 39 </p> 40<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">xyz</span> 41<span class="special">{</span> 42 <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">;</span> 43<span class="special">};</span> 44</pre> 45<p> 46 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xyz</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v</span></code> can be bound as: 47 </p> 48<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">bind</span><span class="special">(&</span><span class="identifier">xyz</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">obj</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// obj is an xyz object</span> 49</pre> 50<p> 51 As noted, just like the bound member function, a bound member variable 52 also expects the first (and only) argument to be a pointer or reference 53 to an object. The object (reference or pointer) can be lazily bound. Examples: 54 </p> 55<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">xyz</span> <span class="identifier">obj</span><span class="special">;</span> 56<span class="identifier">bind</span><span class="special">(&</span><span class="identifier">xyz</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// arg1.v</span> 57<span class="identifier">bind</span><span class="special">(&</span><span class="identifier">xyz</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">obj</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// obj.v</span> 58<span class="identifier">bind</span><span class="special">(&</span><span class="identifier">xyz</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">obj</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">4</span> <span class="comment">// obj.v = 4</span> 59</pre> 60</div> 61<table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> 62<td align="left"></td> 63<td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 2002-2005, 2010, 2014, 2015 Joel de Guzman, Dan Marsden, Thomas 64 Heller, John Fletcher<p> 65 Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
