## Definition

template<typename R>
class CGAL::Modifier_base< R >

`Modifier_base` is an abstract base class providing the interface for any modifier.

A modifier is a function object derived from `Modifier_base` that implements the pure virtual member function `operator()`, which accepts a single reference parameter `R&` on which the modifier is allowed to work. `R` is the type of the internal representation that is to be modified.

Example

The following fragment defines a class `A` with an internal representation `i` of type `int`. It provides a member function `delegate()`, which gives a modifier access to the internal variable and checks validity thereafter. The example modifier sets the internal variable to 42. The example function applies the modifier to an instance of class `A`.

class A {
int i; // protected internal representation
public:
void delegate( CGAL::Modifier_base<int>& modifier) {
modifier(i);
CGAL_postcondition( i > 0); // check validity
}
};
struct Modifier : public CGAL::Modifier_base<int> {
void operator()( int& rep) { rep = 42;}
};
void use_it() {
A a;
Modifier m;
a.delegate(m); // a.i == 42 and A has checked that A::i > 0.
}
