Using STL to bind multiple function arguments

Answer 1

The "STL solution" would be to write your own binder... that's why they created the powerful boost::bind.

Answer 2

A reliable fallback when the bind-syntax gets too weird is to define your own functor:

struct callDoSomething {
  void operator()(const X* x){
    StaticFuncClass::doSomething(x->getName(), funcReturningString());
  }
};

for_each(ctr.begin(), ctr.end(), callDoSomething());

This is more or less what the bind functions do behind the scenes anyway.

Answer 3

You can either create a local functor structure, which can be inlined by the compiler (as Jalf showed), or use a simple function:

void myFunc( const X* x ) { 
    StaticFuncClass::doSomething(x->getName(), funcrReturningString() ); 
}

for_each( c.begin(), c.end(), myFunc );
