<p>
The library consists of include files only, hence there is no
installation procedure. The <code class="literal">boost</code> include directory
must be on the include path.
There are a number of include files that give different functionality:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/lambda.hpp</code> defines lambda expressions for different C++
operators, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.operator_expressions" title="Operator expressions">the section called “Operator expressions”</a>.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/bind.hpp</code> defines <code class="literal">bind</code> functions for up to 9 arguments, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.bind_expressions" title="Bind expressions">the section called “Bind expressions”</a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/if.hpp</code> defines lambda function equivalents for if statements and the conditional operator, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.lambda_expressions_for_control_structures" title="Lambda expressions for control structures">the section called “Lambda expressions for control structures”</a> (includes <code class="filename">lambda.hpp</code>).
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/loops.hpp</code> defines lambda function equivalent for looping constructs, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.lambda_expressions_for_control_structures" title="Lambda expressions for control structures">the section called “Lambda expressions for control structures”</a>.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/switch.hpp</code> defines lambda function equivalent for the switch statement, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.lambda_expressions_for_control_structures" title="Lambda expressions for control structures">the section called “Lambda expressions for control structures”</a>.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/construct.hpp</code> provides tools for writing lambda expressions with constructor, destructor, new and delete invocations, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.construction_and_destruction" title="Construction and destruction">the section called “Construction and destruction”</a> (includes <code class="filename">lambda.hpp</code>).
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/casts.hpp</code> provides lambda versions of different casts, as well as <code class="literal">sizeof</code> and <code class="literal">typeid</code>, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.cast_expressions" title="Cast expressions">the section called “
Cast expressions
</a>.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/exceptions.hpp</code> gives tools for throwing and catching
exceptions within lambda functions, <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.exceptions" title="Exceptions">the section called “Exceptions”</a> (includes
<code class="filename">lambda.hpp</code>).
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">lambda/algorithm.hpp</code> and <code class="filename">lambda/numeric.hpp</code> (cf. standard <code class="filename">algortihm</code> and <code class="filename">numeric</code> headers) allow nested STL algorithm invocations, see <a class="xref" href="le_in_details.html#lambda.nested_stl_algorithms" title="Nesting STL algorithm invocations">the section called “Nesting STL algorithm invocations”</a>.
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
Any other header files in the package are for internal use.
Additionally, the library depends on two other Boost Libraries, the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Tuple</em></span> <a class="xref" href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::tuple" title="The Boost Tuple Library">[<abbr class="abbrev">tuple</abbr>]</a> and the <span class="emphasis"><em>type_traits</em></span> <a class="xref" href="../lambda.html#cit:boost::type_traits" title="The Boost type_traits">[<abbr class="abbrev">type_traits</abbr>]</a> libraries, and on the <code class="filename">boost/ref.hpp</code> header.
</p>
<p>
All definitions are placed in the namespace <code class="literal">boost::lambda</code> and its subnamespaces.

<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id-1.3.21.4.3"></a>Conventions used in this document</h3></div></div></div>
<p>In most code examples, we omit the namespace prefixes for names in the <code class="literal">std</code> and <code class="literal">boost::lambda</code> namespaces.
Implicit using declarations
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::lambda;
</pre>
<p>
are assumed to be in effect.
