函數指針的一種替代策略是Function object（函數對象）。

函數對象與函數指針相比較有兩個方面的優點：首先如果被重載的調用操作符是inline函數則編譯器能夠執行內聯編譯，提供可能的性能好處；其次函數對象可以擁有任意數目的額外數據，用這些數據可以緩沖結果，也可以緩沖有助于當前操作的數據。

函數對象是一個類，它重載了函數調用操作符operator() ,該操作符封裝了一個函數的功能。典型情況下函數對象被作為實參傳遞給泛型算法，當然我們也可以定義獨立的函數對象實例。

來看下面的二個例子： 比較理解會更好些：

#include<vector>
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
class Sum {
int val;
public:
Sum(int i) :val(i) { }

//當在需要int的地方，Sum將自動轉換為int類型
//這里是為了方便cout<<Sum的實例；
operator int() const { return val; }

//寫在類中的函數代碼一般默認為內聯代碼
int operator()(int i) { return val+=i; }
};

void f(vector<int> v)
{
Sum s = 0; //Sum s = 0等價于Sum s(0),不等價于Sum s;s = 0;

//對vector<int>中的元素求和
//函數對象被作為實參傳遞給泛型算法
s = for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), s);

cout << "the sum is " << s << "\n";

//更簡單的寫法，定義獨立的函數對象實例
cout << "the sum is " << for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), Sum(0)) << "\n";
}


int main()
{
vector<int> v;
v.push_back(3); v.push_back(2); v.push_back(1);
f(v);
system("pause");
return 0;
}

另外的實例：
Function Objects as Sorting Criteria

Programmers often need a sorted collection of elements that have a special class (for example, a collection of persons). However, you either don't want to use or you can't use the usual operator < to sort the objects. Instead, you sort the objects according to a special sorting criterion based on some member function. In this regard, a function object can help. Consider the following example:

   // fo/sortl.cpp

   #include <iostream>
   #include <string>
   #include <set>
   #include <algorithm>
   using namespace std;


   class Person {
     public:
       string firstname() const;
       string lastname() const;
       ...
   };


   /* class for function predicate
    * - operator() returns whether a person is less than another person
    */
   class PersonSortCriterion {
     public:
       bool operator() (const Person& p1, const Person& p2) const {
           /* a person is less than another person
            * - if the last name is less
            * - if the last name is equal and the first name is less
            */
           return p1.lastname()<p2.1astname() ||
                  (! (p2.1astname()<p1.lastname()) &&
                   p1.firstname()<p2.firstname());
       }
   };


   int main()
   {

       //declare set type with special sorting criterion
       typedef set<Person,PersonSortCriterion> PersonSet;

       //create such a collection
       PersonSet coll;
       ...


       //do something with the elements
       PersonSet::iterator pos;
       for (pos = coll.begin(); pos != coll.end();++pos) {
           ...
       }
       ...
   }


   //fo/foreach3.cpp

   #include <iostream>
   #include <vector>
   #include <algorithm>
   using namespace std;


   //function object to process the mean value
   class MeanValue {
     private:
       long num;     //number of elements
       long sum;     //sum of all element values
     public:
       //constructor
       MeanValue() : num(0), sum(0) {
       }


       //"function call"
       //-process one more element of the sequence
       void operator() (int elem) {
           num++;          //increment count
           sum += elem;    //add value
       }


       //return mean value
       double value() {
           return static_cast<double>(sum) / static_cast<double>(num);
       }
   };


   int  main()
   {
        vector<int> coll;


        //insert elments from 1 to 8
        for (int i=1; i<=8; ++i) {
            coll.push_back(i);
        }


        //process and print mean value
        MeanValue mv = for_each (coll.begin(), coll.end(), //range
                                 MeanValue());             //operation
        cout << "mean value: " << mv.value() << endl;
   }
