Hi, I am trying to use the std::transform as follows

where buf is short*

m_SendData is std::vector<unsigned char>

class CCodec
{
public:
CCodec() {};
virtual ~CCodec(){};

virtual unsigned char Encode(short ibuf ) = 0;

virtual short Decode(unsigned char ibuf) = 0;
};

m_Codec is *CCodec but pointing at concrete implementation

std::transform(buf, buf + LEN, std::back_inserter(m_SendData),
m_Codec-

Encode);


Instead of the expression 'm_Codec->Encode' you probably meant to
use a binder:

    'bind1st(mem_fun(&CCodec::Encode), m_Codec)'

(or something like that). The idea is that the last argument to
'transform' needs to be a functor or a function pointer. To make
a functor from an object and a pointer to member, you need to bind
the two together so they can be called like a regular function.

Google "bind1st mem_fun" in the news archives, you'll find more
information.

I get the following errors from VC++ (Visual Studio 8). How to
correct? Thanks

error C3867: CCodec::Encode': function call missing argument list;
use &CCodec::Encode' to create a pointer to member
.: error C2780: '_OutIt
