Class function_base
boost::function_base — The common base class for all Boost.Function
    objects. Objects of type function_base may not be created
    directly.
 
Synopsis
class function_base {
public:
  // capacity
  bool empty() const;
  // target access
  template<typename Functor> Functor* target();
  template<typename Functor> const Functor* target() const;
  template<typename Functor> bool contains(const Functor&) const;
  const std::type_info& target_type() const;
}; 
Description
function_base capacity
- 
bool empty() const;
| 
Returns: | 
false if this has a target, and true otherwise. | 
| 
Throws: | 
Will not throw. | 
 
 
 
 
function_base target access
- 
template<typename Functor> Functor* target();
template<typename Functor> const Functor* target() const;
| 
Returns: | 
If this stores a target of type
        Functor, returns the address of the
        target. Otherwise, returns the NULL
        pointer. | 
| 
Throws: | 
Will not throw. | 
 
 
- 
template<typename Functor> bool contains(const Functor& f) const;
| 
Returns: | 
true if this->target<Functor>() is non-NULL and function_equal(*(this->target<Functor>()), f)
 | 
 
 
- 
const std::type_info& target_type() const;
| 
Returns: | 
typeid of the target function object, or typeid(void) if this->empty(). | 
| 
Throws: | 
Will not throw. |
