template< class M, class T >
/* unspecified */ mem_fn( M T::* pm ) noexcept;
Function template std::mem_fn
generates wrapper objects for pointers to members, which can store, copy, and invoke a pointer to member. Both references and pointers (including smart pointers) to an object can be used when invoking a std::mem_fn
.
std::mem_fn
returns a call wrapper fn of unspecified type that has the following members:
result_type
(deprecated in C++17) the return type of pm if pm is a pointer to member function, not defined for pointer to member object argument_type
(deprecated in C++17) T*
, possibly cv-qualified, if pm is a pointer to member function taking no arguments first_argument_type
(deprecated in C++17) T*
if pm is a pointer to member function taking one argument second_argument_type
(deprecated in C++17) T1
if pm is a pointer to member function taking one argument of type T1
(until C++20) Member function template< class... Args >
/* see below */ operator()(Args&&... args) /* cvref-qualifiers */
The expression fn(args) is equivalent to INVOKE
(pmd, args), where pmd is the Callable object held by fn, it is of type M T::*
and is direct-non-list-initialized with pm.
Thus, the return type of operator() is std::result_of<decltype(pm)(Args&&...)>::type or equivalently std::invoke_result_t<decltype(pm), Args&&...>, and the value in noexcept specifier is equal to std::is_nothrow_invocable_v<decltype(pm), Args&&...>)(since C++17).
Each argument in args is perfectly forwarded, as if by std::forward<Args>(args)....
[edit] ExampleUse std::mem_fn
to store and execute a member function and a member object:
#include <functional> #include <iostream> #include <memory> struct Foo { void display_greeting() { std::cout << "Hello, world.\n"; } void display_number(int i) { std::cout << "number: " << i << '\n'; } int add_xy(int x, int y) { return data + x + y; } template<typename... Args> int add_many(Args... args) { return data + (args + ...); } auto add_them(auto... args) // C++20 required { return data + (args + ...); } int data = 7; }; int main() { auto f = Foo{}; auto greet = std::mem_fn(&Foo::display_greeting); greet(f); auto print_num = std::mem_fn(&Foo::display_number); print_num(f, 42); auto access_data = std::mem_fn(&Foo::data); std::cout << "data: " << access_data(f) << '\n'; auto add_xy = std::mem_fn(&Foo::add_xy); std::cout << "add_xy: " << add_xy(f, 1, 2) << '\n'; auto u = std::make_unique<Foo>(); std::cout << "access_data(u): " << access_data(u) << '\n'; std::cout << "add_xy(u, 1, 2): " << add_xy(u, 1, 2) << '\n'; auto add_many = std::mem_fn(&Foo::add_many<short, int, long>); std::cout << "add_many(u, ...): " << add_many(u, 1, 2, 3) << '\n'; auto add_them = std::mem_fn(&Foo::add_them<short, int, float, double>); std::cout << "add_them(u, ...): " << add_them(u, 5, 7, 10.0f, 13.0) << '\n'; }
Output:
Hello, world. number: 42 data: 7 add_xy: 10 access_data(u): 7 add_xy(u, 1, 2): 10 add_many(u, ...): 13 add_them(u, ...): 42[edit] Defect reports
