binary_negate is a wrapper function object returning the complement of the binary predicate it holds.

The binary predicate type must define two subtypes, first_argument_type and second_argument_type, that is convertible to the predicate's two parameter types. Binary function objects derived from std::binary_function will have these types defined, as will functions wrapped in a call to std::ptr_fun. In C++11, a std::function specialization for binary functions provides these types.

binary_negate objects are easily constructed with helper function std::not2.

std::binary_negate::binary_negate

explicit binary_negate( Predicate const& pred );

Constructs a binary_negate function object with the stored predicate pred.

Parameters

pred - predicate function object

std::binary_negate::operator()

bool operator()( first_argument_type const& x, second_argument_type const& y ) const;

Returns the logical complement of the result of calling pred(x, y).

Parameters

x - first argument to pass through to predicate
y - second argument to pass through to predicate

Return value

The logical complement of the result of calling pred(x, y).

[edit] Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
 
struct same : std::binary_function<int, int, bool>
{
    bool operator()(int a, int b) const { return a == b; }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v1;
    std::vector<int> v2;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v1.push_back(i);
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v2.push_back(10 - i);
 
    std::vector<bool> v3(v1.size());
 
    std::binary_negate<same> not_same((same()));
 
    std::transform(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v3.begin(), not_same);
 
    /* C++11 solution:
        // Use std::function<bool (int, int)>
        std::function<bool (int, int)> not_same =
            [](int x, int y)->bool{ return !same()(x, y); };
 
        std::transform(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v3.begin(), not_same);
    */
 
    std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::boolalpha);
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        std::cout << v1[i] << ' ' << v2[i] << ' ' << v3[i] << '\n';
}

Output:

0 10 true
1 9 true
2 8 true
3 7 true
4 6 true
5 5 false
6 4 true
7 3 true
8 2 true
9 1 true
