+[section:acknowledgements Acknowledgements]
+
+* Rene Jager's initial suggestion of using traits classes to make `mem_fn`
+adapt to user-defined smart pointers inspired the `get_pointer`-based design.
+
+* Numerous improvements were suggested during the formal review period by
+Richard Crossley, Jens Maurer, Ed Brey, and others. Review manager was Darin
+Adler.
+
+* Steve Anichini pointed out that COM interfaces use `__stdcall`.
+
+* Dave Abrahams modified `bind` and `mem_fn` to support `void` returns on
+deficient compilers.
+
+* Daniel Boelzle pointed out that UDK uses `__cdecl`.
+
+This documentation was ported to Quickbook by Agustín Bergé.

+[section:faq Frequently Asked Questions]
+
+[section Can `mem_fn` be used instead of the standard `std::mem_fun[_ref]`
+adaptors?]
+
+Yes. For simple uses, `mem_fn` provides additional functionality that the
+standard adaptors do not. Complicated expressions that use `std::bind1st`,
+`std::bind2nd` or [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_31_0/libs/compose/index.htm Boost.Compose]
+along with the standard adaptors can be rewritten using `boost::bind` that
+automatically takes advantage of `mem_fn`.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Should I replace every occurence of `std::mem_fun[_ref]` with
+`mem_fn` in my existing code?]
+
+No, unless you have good reasons to do so. `mem_fn` is not 100% compatible
+with the standard adaptors, although it comes pretty close. In particular,
+`mem_fn` does not return objects of type `std::[const_]mem_fun[1][_ref]_t`, as
+the standard adaptors do, and it is not possible to fully describe the type of
+the first argument using the standard `argument_type` and `first_argument_type`
+nested typedefs. Libraries that need adaptable function objects in order to
+function might not like `mem_fn`.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Does `mem_fn` work with COM methods?]
+
+Yes, if you [link mem_fn.implementation.stdcall `#define BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL].
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section Why isn't `BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL` defined automatically?]
+
+Non-portable extensions, in general, should default to off to prevent vendor
+lock-in. Had `BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL` been defined automatically, you
+could have accidentally taken advantage of it without realizing that your code
+is, perhaps, no longer portable. In addition, it is possible for the default
+calling convention to be `__stdcall`, in which case enabling `__stdcall`
+support will result in duplicate definitions.

+[section Number of Arguments]
+
+This implementation supports member functions with up to eight arguments. This
+is not an inherent limitation of the design, but an implementation detail.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:stdcall `__stdcall`, `__cdecl`, and `__fastcall` Support]
+
+Some platforms allow several types of member functions that differ by their
+calling convention (the rules by which the function is invoked: how are
+arguments passed, how is the return value handled, and who cleans up the stack
+ - if any.)
+
+For example, Windows API functions and COM interface member functions use a
+calling convention known as `__stdcall`. Borland VCL components use
+`__fastcall`. UDK, the component model of OpenOffice.org, uses `__cdecl`.
+
+To use `mem_fn` with `__stdcall` member functions, `#define` the macro
+`BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL` before including `<boost/mem_fn.hpp>`.
+
+To use `mem_fn` with `__fastcall` member functions, `#define` the macro
+`BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_FASTCALL` before including `<boost/mem_fn.hpp>`.
+
+To use `mem_fn` with `__cdecl` member functions, `#define` the macro
+`BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_CDECL` before including `<boost/mem_fn.hpp>`.
+
+[*It is best to define these macros in the project options, via `-D` on the
+command line, or as the first line in the translation unit (.cpp file) where
+`mem_fn` is used.] Not following this rule can lead to obscure errors when a
+header includes `mem_fn.hpp` before the macro has been defined.
+
+/[Note:/ this is a non-portable extension. It is not part of the interface./]/

+
+[section:purpose Purpose]
+
+`boost::mem_fn` is a generalization of the standard functions `std::mem_fun`
+and `std::mem_fun_ref`. It supports member function pointers with more than
+one argument, and the returned function object can take a pointer, a
+reference, or a smart pointer to an object instance as its first argument.
+`mem_fn` also supports pointers to data members by treating them as functions
+taking no arguments and returning a (const) reference to the member.
+
+The purpose of `mem_fn` is twofold. First, it allows users to invoke a member
+function on a container with the familiar
+
+    std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&Shape::draw));
+
+syntax, even when the container stores smart pointers.
+
+Second, it can be used as a building block by library developers that want to
+treat a pointer to member function as a function object. A library might
+define an enhanced `for_each` algorithm with an overload of the form:
+
+    template<class It, class R, class T> void for_each(It first, It last, R (T::*pmf) ())
+    {
+        std::for_each(first, last, boost::mem_fn(pmf));
+    }
+
+that will allow the convenient syntax:
+
+    for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), &Shape::draw);
+
+When documenting the feature, the library author will simply state:
+
+    template<class It, class R, class T> void for_each(It first, It last, R (T::*pmf) ());
+
+* /Effects:/ Equivalent to `std::for_each(first, last, boost::mem_fn(pmf))`.
+
+where `boost::mem_fn` can be a link to this page. See the
+[@boost:/libs/bind/bind.html documentation of `bind`] for an example.
+
+`mem_fn` takes one argument, a pointer to a member, and returns a function
+object suitable for use with standard or user-defined algorithms:
+
+    struct X
+    {
+        void f();
+    };
+
+    void g(std::vector<X> & v)
+    {
+        std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f));
+    };
+
+    void h(std::vector<X *> const & v)
+    {
+        std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f));
+    };
+
+    void k(std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<X> > const & v)
+    {
+        std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f));
+    };
+
+The returned function object takes the same arguments as the input member
+function plus a "flexible" first argument that represents the object instance.
+
+When the function object is invoked with a first argument `x` that is neither
+a pointer nor a reference to the appropriate class (`X` in the example above),
+it uses `get_pointer(x)` to obtain a pointer from `x`. Library authors can
+"register" their smart pointer classes by supplying an appropriate
+`get_pointer` overload, allowing `mem_fn` to recognize and support them.
+
+
+/[Note:/ `get_pointer` is not restricted to return a pointer. Any object that
+can be used in a member function call expression `(x->*pmf)(...)` will work./]/
+
+/[Note:/ the library uses an unqualified call to `get_pointer`. Therefore, it
+will find, through argument-dependent lookup, `get_pointer` overloads that are
+defined in the same namespace as the corresponding smart pointer class, in
+addition to any `boost::get_pointer` overloads./]/
+
+All function objects returned by `mem_fn` expose a `result_type` typedef that
+represents the return type of the member function. For data members,
+`result_type` is defined as the type of the member.
