unary_negate is a wrapper function object returning the complement of the unary predicate it holds.

The unary predicate type must define a member type, argument_type, that is convertible to the predicate's parameter type. The unary function objects obtained from std::ref, std::cref, std::negate, std::logical_not, std::mem_fn, std::function, std::hash, or from another call to std::not1 have this type defined, as are function objects derived from the deprecated std::unary_function.

unary_negate objects are easily constructed with helper function std::not1.

std::unary_negate::unary_negate

explicit unary_negate( Predicate const& pred );
(until C++14)
explicit constexpr unary_negate( Predicate const& pred );
(since C++14)

Constructs a unary_negate function object with the stored predicate pred.

Parameters

pred - predicate function object

std::unary_negate::operator()

bool operator()( argument_type const& x ) const;
(until C++14)
constexpr bool operator()( argument_type const& x ) const;
(since C++14)

Returns the logical complement of the result of calling pred(x).

Parameters

x - argument to pass through to predicate

Return value

The logical complement of the result of calling pred(x).

[edit] Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
 
struct less_than_7 : std::unary_function<int, bool>
{
    bool operator()(int i) const { return i < 7; }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v.push_back(i);
 
    std::unary_negate<less_than_7> not_less_than_7((less_than_7()));
 
    std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), not_less_than_7);
 
    /* C++11 solution:
        // Use std::function<bool (int)>
        std::function<bool (int)> not_less_than_7 =
            [](int x)->bool{ return !less_than_7()(x); };
 
        std::cout << std::count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), not_less_than_7);
    */
}

Output:
