Filter a monadic structure using a custom predicate. //! @ingroup group-MonadPlus //! //! Given a monadic structure and a predicate, `filter` returns a new //! monadic structure containing only those elements that satisfy the //! predicate. This is a generalization of the usual `filter` function //! for sequences; it works for any MonadPlus. Intuitively, `filter` is //! somewhat equivalent to: //! @code //! filter(xs, pred) == flatten(transform(xs, [](auto x) { //! return pred(x) ? lift(x) : empty(); //! }) //! @endcode //! In other words, we basically turn a monadic structure containing //! `[x1, ..., xn]` into a monadic structure containing //! @code //! [ //! pred(x1) ? [x1] : [], //! pred(x2) ? [x2] : [], //! ... //! pred(xn) ? [xn] : [] //! ] //! @endcode //! and we then `flatten` that. //! //! //! Signature //! --------- //! Given a `MonadPlus` `M` and an `IntegralConstant` `Bool` holding a //! value of type `bool`, the signature is //! @f$ \mathtt{filter} : M(T) \times (T \to \mathtt{Bool}) \to M(T) @f$. //! //! @param xs //! The monadic structure to filter. //! //! @param pred //! A function called as `pred(x)` for each element `x` in the monadic //! structure and returning whether that element should be __kept__ in //! the resulting structure. In the current version of the library, the //! predicate has to return an `IntegralConstant` holding a value //! convertible to a `bool`. //! //! //! Example //! ------- //! @include example/filter.cpp #ifdef BOOST_HANA_DOXYGEN_INVOKED constexpr auto filter = [](auto&& xs, auto&& pred) { return tag-dispatched; }; #else template struct filter_impl : filter_impl> { }; struct filter_t { template constexpr auto operator()(Xs&& xs, Pred&& pred) const; }; constexpr filter_t filter{}; #endif BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_END #endif // !BOOST_HANA_FWD_FILTER_HPP
