Hi,

I would like to create a functor for calling functions in a chain like this :

car.GetRigidBody().GetPosition().GetX()

What is the best way to do that using bind (and lambda ?)

The car.GetRigidBody() is easy : bind(&Car::GetRigidBody, &car) , but then I am a bit stuck. Note that I don't want to store the result of car.GetRigidBody(). I want the final functor to call all the functions everytime its operator() is called. So

bind ( &Position::GetX, &bind ( &RigidBody::GetPosition, &bind (

&Car::GetRigidBody,

&car )() )() )

would not be acceptable…

Any help greatly appreciated

You're nearly there: bind(&Position::GetX, bind(&RigidBody::GetPosition, bind(&Car::GetRigidBody, &car))); should do the job - i.e. no '&' on the binds. Stuart Dootson
