I'm guessing you didn't quite grok Michael's answer?

OK, it's not that hard. You just have to think about how you would have
implemented the design, where the design is that a manipulator expression such
as `setWidth(4)` can be "inserted" into the stream. It's a horrible design! :-)

But given that, well, `setWidth(4)` is a function call. As a function call it
produces some value. That value is inserted into the stream via <<.

So what value should `setWidth(4)` produce?

It must be a value that somehow remembers the `4`, and it must be a value that
isn't just presented as a number or something.

So, you let it be a value of some special class, like

struct MyWidthManip
{
int w_;
MyWidthManip( int w ): w_( w ) {}
};

Now you can define the function `setWidth`:

MyWidthManip setWidth( int w ) { return MyWidthManip( w ); }

Goodie, your call `setWidth( 4 )` produces an object of this class.

All you have to do now is to define the effect of inserting that into a stream:

std::ostream& operator<<(
std::ostream& stream,
MyWidthManip const& m
)
{
stream.setw( m.w_ ); // I'm just assuming there is a setw. Dunno.
return stream;
}

And that's it.

For a manipulator without arguments you don't need a supporting class, because
the manipulator can just be a function that << operator then calls.

Bjarne's example of a support class was a bit more general than above, namely a
support class that supported many different one-int-argument manipulators. That
made it a little more complex. With some old C syntax function pointer
declaration thrown in -- I don't understand why he would do that in a book!
