  19. // `absl::bind_front()` returns a functor by binding a number of arguments to
  20. // the front of a provided (usually more generic) functor. Unlike `std::bind`,
  21. // it does not require the use of argument placeholders. The simpler syntax of
  22. // `absl::bind_front()` allows you to avoid known misuses with `std::bind()`.
  23. //
  24. // `absl::bind_front()` is meant as a drop-in replacement for C++20's upcoming
  25. // `std::bind_front()`, which similarly resolves these issues with
  26. // `std::bind()`. Both `bind_front()` alternatives, unlike `std::bind()`, allow
  27. // partial function application. (See
  28. // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_application).

  43. // Like `std::bind()`, `absl::bind_front()` is implicitly convertible to
  44. // `std::function`. In particular, it may be used as a simpler replacement for
  45. // `std::bind()` in most cases, as it does not require placeholders to be
  46. // specified. More importantly, it provides more reliable correctness guarantees
  47. // than `std::bind()`; while `std::bind()` will silently ignore passing more
  48. // parameters than expected, for example, `absl::bind_front()` will report such
  49. // mis-uses as errors. In C++20, `absl::bind_front` is replaced by
  50. // `std::bind_front`.
  51. //
  52. // absl::bind_front(a...) can be seen as storing the results of
  53. // std::make_tuple(a...).
