A function object that adapts a pointer to a binary function, to take the place of a binary_function

#include <functional>

namespace std {
  template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
  class pointer_to_binary_function;
}

The pointer_to_binary_function class encapsulates a pointer to a two-argument function. The class uses operator() so that the resulting object serves as a binary function object for that function.

The ptr_fun() function is overloaded to create instances of a pointer_to_binary_function when included with the appropriate pointer to a function.

namespace std {

  template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
  class pointer_to_binary_function : public
        binary_function<Arg1, Arg2, Result> {

    public:
      explicit pointer_to_binary_function
               (Result (*f)(Arg1, Arg2));
      Result operator() (const Arg1&, const Arg2&) const;
  };

}
