About for_each usage

I'm having problems setting up the functors to use for_each. Here's an
example:

class A {
public:
void getName() { return name; }
private:
string name;
};

class B {
public:
vector<intgetIds { return vi; }
A& getA(int idx) { return vA.at(idx); }
void bfunc();
private:
vector<AvA;
vector<intvi;
}

class C {
public:
void cfunc();
private:
B b;
}

void B::bfunc()
{
// populate vi
for(int i=0; i<vi.size(); ++i) {
cout << vA[i].printName() << endl;
}
}

void C::cfunc()
{
// populate vi
vector<intvc = b.getIds();
for(int i=0; i<vc.size(); ++i) {
A& a = getA(vc[i]);
cout << a.getName() << endl;
}
}

Here vA is just a vector of As and vi is a vector of integers that
index into vA. Let's suppose that vA and vi are populated
appropriately. All I'm trying to do is to execute a particular
function on a subset of the As.

I have three questions:
1) How do I replace the for loop in bfunc with a for_each?
2) How do I replace the for loop in cfunc with a for_each?
3) How would I do this using the Boost.Lambda functions?

Thanks.

Your code has too many syntax errors as is to give advice on how to
modify it. Can you first make it compile and then repost it.

void C::cfunc()

for(int i=0; i<vc.size(); ++i) {
A& a = b.getA(vc[i]);
std::cout << a.getName() << std::endl;
}
}

Frankly, there a so many errors, that I don't think the loops do what
you want them to do, especially bfunc.
Don't use for_each, use transform instead:

transform(vA.begin(), vA.begin() + vi.size(),
ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"), mem_fun_ref(&A::getName));

But again, I don't think that's what you want.
That function really should be in class B. It pulls B's vi variable out,
and then iterates over B's vA variable. So let's put it there instead:

string B::getNameOf(int x)
{
return vA.at(x).getName();
}

void B::cfunc()
{
transform(vi.begin(), vi.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"),
bind1st(mem_fun(&B::getNameOf), this));
}

Differently.
