## Detailed Description

sigc::hide() alters an arbitrary functor in that it adds a parameter whose value is ignored on invocation of the returned functor.

Thus you can discard one argument of a signal.

You may optionally specify the zero-based position of the parameter to ignore as a template argument. The default is to ignore the last parameter. (A value of `-1` adds a parameter at the end so sigc::hide<-1>() gives the same result as sigc::hide().)

The type of the parameter can optionally be specified if not deduced.

Examples:
  void foo(int, int);
  // single argument hiding ...
  sigc::hide(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the back and calls foo(1,2)
  sigc::hide<-1>(&foo)(1,2,3); // same as sigc::hide(&foo)(1,2,3) (calls foo(1,2))
  sigc::hide<0>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the beginning and calls foo(2,3)
  sigc::hide<1>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter in the middle and calls foo(1,3)
  sigc::hide<2>(&foo)(1,2,3); // adds a dummy parameter at the back and calls foo(1,2)

The functor sigc::hide() returns can be directly passed into sigc::signal::connect().

Example:
  sigc::signal<void,int> some_signal;
  void foo();
  some_signal.connect(sigc::hide(&foo));

sigc::hide() can be nested in order to discard multiple arguments.

Example:
  // multiple argument hiding ...
  sigc::hide(sigc::hide(&foo))(1,2,3,4); // adds two dummy parameters at the back and calls foo(1,2)

sigc::hide_return() alters an arbitrary functor by dropping its return value, thus converting it to a void functor.

## Function Documentation

template <int I_location, class T_functor >

hide_functor<I_location, T_functor> sigc::hide | ( | const T_functor & | _A_func | ) |

inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::hide_functor which adds a dummy parameter to the passed functor.

The optional template argument I_location specifies the zero-based position of the dummy parameter in the returned functor (`-1` stands for the last parameter).

Parameters

  _A_func | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes _A_func, ignoring the value of the dummy parameter.

template <class T_functor >

hide_functor<-1, T_functor> sigc::hide | ( | const T_functor & | _A_func | ) |

inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::hide_functor which adds a dummy parameter to the passed functor.

This overload adds a dummy parameter at the back of the functor's parameter list.

Parameters

  _A_func | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes _A_func, ignoring the value of the last parameter.

template <class T_functor >

retype_return_functor<void, T_functor> sigc::hide_return | ( | const T_functor & | _A_functor | ) |

inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::retype_return_functor which drops the return value of the passed functor.

Parameters

  _A_functor | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes _A_functor dropping its return value.
