Why I can't use for_each to call a member function with a ostream& parameter?

[waitan]

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

class Ghost
{
public:
void PrintResult(ostream& os) const{}

friend istream& operator >>(istream& is, Ghost& s);
friend ostream& operator <<(ostream& os, const Ghost& s);
};

istream& operator >>(istream& is, Ghost& s)
{
return is;
}

ostream& operator <<(ostream& os, const Ghost& s)
{
return os;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
vector<Ghost> all;
}

for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
all.push_back(Ghost());
}

//output to file
ofstream ofile("abc");
if(!ofile)
{
cout << "open file error\n" << endl;
return 1;
}

for_each(all.begin(), all.end(),
bind2nd(mem_fun_ref(&Ghost:rintResult), ofile));

ofile.close();

return 0;
}

But I get follow compile error information:

g++ -g -O0 -Wall -o test_algorithm test_algorithm.cpp

If I call a member function with a int parameter, it is OK.
But I want a member function with a ostream& parameter, how?

You're trying to form a reference to a reference. Prohibited.

If I call a member function with a int parameter, it is OK.
But I want a member function with a ostream& parameter, how?

I don't remember if there is a way. bind2nd attempts to create
a reference to the type that is the second type of the function
you're trying to bind. Search the archives for "reference to
a reference" and "bind2nd"...

You may just use a functor created around the ostream You may also use
boost::bind.You may also try to use an stream iterator instead of the
stream. Whichever you feel is easier or fits better with your
programming style.
