## Detailed Description

sigc::bind() alters an arbitrary functor by fixing arguments to certain values.

Up to 7 arguments can be bound at a time. For single argument binding, overloads of sigc::bind() are provided that let you specify the zero-based position of the argument to fix with the first template parameter. (A value of `-1` fixes the last argument so sigc::bind<-1>() gives the same result as sigc::bind().) The types of the arguments can optionally be specified if not deduced.

Examples:
  void foo(int, int, int);
  // single argument binding ...
  sigc::bind(&foo,1)(2,3); //fixes the last (third) argument and calls foo(2,3,1)
  sigc::bind<-1>(&foo,1)(2,3); //same as bind(&foo,1)(2,3) (calls foo(2,3,1))
  sigc::bind<0>(&foo,1)(2,3); //fixes the first argument and calls foo(1,2,3)
  sigc::bind<1>(&foo,1)(2,3); //fixes the second argument and calls foo(2,1,3)
  sigc::bind<2>(&foo,1)(2,3); //fixes the third argument and calls foo(2,3,1)
  // multi argument binding ...
  sigc::bind(&foo,1,2)(3); //fixes the last two arguments and calls foo(3,1,2)
  sigc::bind(&foo,1,2,3)(); //fixes all three arguments and calls foo(1,2,3)

The functor sigc::bind() returns can be passed into sigc::signal::connect() directly.

Example:
  sigc::signal<void> some_signal;
  void foo(int);
  some_signal.connect(sigc::bind(&foo,1));

sigc::bind_return() alters an arbitrary functor by fixing its return value to a certain value.

Example:
  void foo();
  std::cout << sigc::bind_return(&foo, 5)(); // calls foo() and returns 5

You can bind references to functors by passing the objects through the sigc::ref() helper function.

Example:
  int some_int;
  sigc::signal<void> some_signal;
  void foo(int&);
  some_signal.connect(sigc::bind(&foo,sigc::ref(some_int)));

If you bind an object of a sigc::trackable derived type to a functor by reference, a slot assigned to the bind adaptor is cleared automatically when the object goes out of scope.

Example:
  struct bar : public sigc::trackable {} some_bar;
  sigc::signal<void> some_signal;
  void foo(bar&);
  some_signal.connect(sigc::bind(&foo,sigc::ref(some_bar)));
  // disconnected automatically if some_bar goes out of scope

For a more powerful version of this functionality see the lambda library adaptor sigc::group() which can bind, hide and reorder arguments arbitrarily. Although sigc::group() is more flexible, sigc::bind() provides a means of binding parameters when the total number of parameters called is variable.
