在C++的算法和函数之间，以类对象作为参数的情况很非常常见的问题，一般情况下传值语义是可行的，但也有很多特殊情况，作为参数的函数对象拷贝代价过高(具有复杂的内部状态)，或者不希望拷贝对象(内部状态不应该被改变)，甚至拷贝是不可行的(noncopyable、单件)。
boost.ref应用代理模式，引入对象引用的包装器概念解决这个问题。它位于名字空间boost,为了使用ref组件
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/core/doc/html/core/ref.html
The Ref library is a small library that is useful for passing references to function templates (algorithms) that would usually take copies of their arguments. It defines the class templateboost::reference_wrapper<T>, two functions boost::ref and boost::cref that return instances of boost::reference_wrapper<T>, a function boost::unwrap_ref that unwraps a boost::reference_wrapper<T> or returns a reference to any other type of object, and the two traits classes boost::is_reference_wrapper<T> and boost::unwrap_reference<T>.
The purpose of boost::reference_wrapper<T> is to contain a reference to an object of type T. It is primarily used to "feed" references to function templates (algorithms) that take their parameter by value.
To support this usage, boost::reference_wrapper<T> provides an implicit conversion to T&. This usually allows the function templates to work on references unmodified.
boost::reference_wrapper<T> is both CopyConstructible and Assignable (ordinary references are not Assignable).
The expression boost::ref(x) returns a boost::reference_wrapper<X>(x) where X is the type of x. Similarly, boost::cref(x) returns a boost::reference_wrapper<X const>(x).
The expression boost::unwrap_ref(x) returns a boost::unwrap_reference<X>::type& where X is the type of x.
The expression boost::is_reference_wrapper<T>::value is true if T is a reference_wrapper, and false otherwise.
The type-expression boost::unwrap_reference<T>::type is T::type if T is a reference_wrapper, T otherwise.
namespace boost {
template<typename T> class reference_wrapper;
template<typename T> struct is_reference_wrapper;
template<typename T> struct unwrap_reference;
template<typename T> reference_wrapper< T > const ref(T &);
template<typename T> reference_wrapper< T const > const cref(T const &);
template<typename T> void ref(T const &&);
template<typename T> void cref(T const &&);
template<typename T> unwrap_reference< T >::type & unwrap_ref(T &);
}
