mem_fn Function

Generates a simple call wrapper.

template<class Ret, class Ty>
    unspecified mem_fn(Ret Ty::*pm);

Parameters

  • Ret
    The return type of the wrapped function.

  • Ty
    The type of the member function pointer.

Remarks

The template function returns a simple call wrapper cw, with a weak result type, such that the expression cw(t, a2, ..., aN) is equivalent to INVOKE(pm, t, a2, ..., aN). It does not throw any exceptions.

The returned call wrapper is derived from std::unary_function<cv Ty*, Ret> (hence defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for Ret and the nested type argument_type as a synonym for cv Ty*) only if the type Ty is a pointer to member function with cv-qualifier cv that takes no arguments.

The returned call wrapper is derived from std::binary_function<cv Ty*, T2, Ret> (hence defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for Ret, the nested type first argument_type as a synonym for cv Ty*, and the nested type second argument_type as a synonym for T2) only if the type Ty is a pointer to member function with cv-qualifier cv that takes one argument, of type T2.

Example

 

// std_tr1__functional__mem_fn.cpp 
// compile with: /EHsc 
#include <functional> 
#include <iostream> 
 
class Funs 
    { 
public: 
    void square(double x) 
        { 
        std::cout << x << "^2 == " << x * x << std::endl; 
        } 
 
    void product(double x, double y) 
        { 
        std::cout << x << "*" << y << " == " << x * y << std::endl; 
        } 
    }; 
 
int main() 
    { 
    Funs funs; 
 
    std::mem_fn(&Funs::square)(funs, 3.0); 
    std::mem_fn(&Funs::product)(funs, 3.0, 2.0); 
 
    return (0); 
    } 
 
3^2 == 9
3*2 == 6
