unary_negate is a wrapper function object returning the complement of the unary predicate it holds.

The unary predicate type must define a subtype, argument_type, that is convertible to the predicate's parameter type. Unary function objects derived from std::unary_function will have this type defined, as will functions wrapped in a call to std::ptr_fun. In C++11, a std::function specialization for unary functions provides this type.

unary_negate objects are easily constructed with helper function std::not1.

std::unary_negate::unary_negate

explicit unary_negate( Predicate const& pred );

Constructs a unary_negate function object with the stored predicate pred.

Parameters

pred - predicate function object

std::unary_negate::operator()

bool operator()( argument_type const& x ) const;

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

Parameters

x - argument to pass through to predicate

Return value

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

[edit] Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
 
struct less_than_7 : std::unary_function<int, bool>
{
    bool operator()(int i) const { return i < 7; }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v.push_back(i);
 
    std::unary_negate<less_than_7> not_less_than_7((less_than_7()));
 
    std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), not_less_than_7);
 
    /* C++11 solution:
        // Use std::function<bool (int)>
        std::function<bool (int)> not_less_than_7 =
            [](int x)->bool{ return !less_than_7()(x); };
 
        std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), not_less_than_7);
    */
}
