When you pass a mem_fun_ref_t object (created by calling mem_fun_ref),
it creates a funcion object taking objects on which the member
function will be called. In your case, since you're iterating over
objects of type Simple, the mem_fun_ref should be passed a member
function of Simple, not just any member function pointer will do.
First, on which Holder object would it be invoking this member
function? When you call for_each as you do, and considering the
arguments given to it, there is nothing that in any way could
associate the "this" pointer of Holder to the function call.
What you need is something more like a Boost or tr1 "bind" object.
#include "boost/bind.hpp"
...
void DoAll() // member of Holder
{
std::for_each(
vec.begin(),
vec.end(),
boost::bind(boost::mem_fn(&Holder::Do), this, _1));
}
This creates a function object that takes 2 parameters: an object on
which to call the member function, and an argument to pass to the
member function. That function object is then wrapped using
boost::bind, creating a simpler function object that has argument 1
already bound to "this", the holder object that has the member
function you want to be called.
When used inside for_each, the boost::bind_t object is passed the
current element of the sequence, which is passed to Holder::Do, which
does "whatever Do does".

PS It's also helpful if you include complete code, such as what you
#include, namespace qualifiers, etc. Then your code can be
cut-and-pasted and we can reproduce the problem by compiling without
having to change your code first to make it "right".
