Example is based on the example from the [@http://www.packtpub.com/boost-cplusplus-application-development-cookbook/book Boost C++ Application Development Cookbook] by Antony Polukhin, ISBN 9781849514880. Step 1: Making a functor that converts any type to a string and remembers result: */ #include struct stringize_functor { private: std::string& result; public: explicit stringize_functor(std::string& res) : result(res) {} template void operator()(const T& v) const { result += boost::lexical_cast(v); } }; //` Step 2: Applying `stringize_functor` to each element in sequence: #include template std::string stringize(const Sequence& seq) { std::string result; boost::fusion::for_each(seq, stringize_functor(result)); return result; } //` Step 3: Using the `stringize` with different types: #include #include #include int main() { boost::tuple decim('-', 10, 'e', 5); assert(stringize(decim) == "-10e5"); std::pair value_and_type(270, "Kelvin"); assert(stringize(value_and_type) == "270Kelvin"); } //] [/lexical_cast_stringize]
