bind

Binds arguments to a callable object.

template <class FT, class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>
    unspecified bind(FT fn, T1 t1, T2 t2, ..., TN tN);

template <class RTy, class FT, class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>
    unspecified bind(FT fn, T1 t1, T2 t2, ..., TN tN);

Parameters

FT
The type of the object to call. For example, the type of the function, function object, function pointer/reference, or member function pointer.

RTy
The return type. When specified, it will be the return type of the bound call. Otherwise, the return type is the return type of FT.

TN
The type of the Nth call argument.

fn
The object to call.

tN
The Nth call argument.

Remarks

The types FT, T1, T2, ..., TN must be copy-constructible, and INVOKE(fn, t1, ..., tN) must be a valid expression for some values w1, w2, ..., wN.

The first template function returns a forwarding call wrapper g with a weak result type. The effect of g(u1, u2, ..., uM) is INVOKE(f, v1, v2, ..., vN, invoke_result<FT cv (V1, V2, ..., VN)>::type), where cv is the cv-qualifiers of g and the values and types of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN are determined as specified below. You use it to bind arguments to a callable object to make a callable object with a tailored argument list.

The second template function returns a forwarding call wrapper g with a nested type result_type that is a synonym for RTy. The effect of g(u1, u2, ..., uM) is INVOKE(f, v1, v2, ..., vN, RTy), where cv is the cv-qualifiers of g and the values and types of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN are determined as specified below. You use it to bind arguments to a callable object to make a callable object with a tailored argument list and with a specified return type.

The values of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN and their corresponding types V1, V2, ..., VN depend on the type of the corresponding argument ti of type Ti in the call to bind and the cv-qualifiers cv of the call wrapper g as follows:

If ti is of type reference_wrapper<T> the argument vi is ti.get() and its type Vi is T&;

If the value of std::is_bind_expression<Ti>::value is true the argument vi is ti(u1, u2, ..., uM) and its type Vi is result_of<Ti cv (U1&, U2&, ..., UN&>::type;

If the value j of std::is_placeholder<Ti>::value isn't zero the argument vi is uj and its type Vi is Uj&;

Otherwise the argument vi is ti and its type Vi is Ti cv &.

For example, given a function f(int, int) the expression bind(f, _1, 0) returns a forwarding call wrapper cw such that cw(x) calls f(x, 0). The expression bind(f, 0, _1) returns a forwarding call wrapper cw such that cw(x) calls f(0, x).

The number of arguments in a call to bind and the argument fn must be equal to the number of arguments that can be passed to the callable object fn. For example, bind(cos, 1.0) is correct, and both bind(cos) and bind(cos, _1, 0.0) are incorrect.

The number of arguments in the function call to the call wrapper returned by bind must be at least as large as the highest numbered value of is_placeholder<PH>::value for all of the placeholder arguments in the call to bind. For example, bind(cos, _2)(0.0, 1.0) is correct (and returns cos(1.0)), and bind(cos, _2)(0.0) is incorrect.

// std__functional__bind.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std::placeholders;

void square(double x)
{

void product(double x, double y)
{

}

int main()
{
    double arg[] = { 1, 2, 3 };

    std::for_each(&arg[0], arg + 3, square);
    std::cout << std::endl;

    std::for_each(&arg[0], arg + 3, std::bind(product, _1, 2));
    std::cout << std::endl;

    std::for_each(&arg[0], arg + 3, std::bind(square, _1));

    return (0);

bind1st

A helper template function that creates an adaptor to convert a binary function object into a unary function object. It binds the first argument of the binary function to a specified value. Deprecated in C++11, removed in C++17.

template <class Operation, class Type>
    binder1st <Operation> bind1st (const Operation& func, const Type& left);

Parameters

func
The binary function object to be converted to a unary function object.

left
The value to which the first argument of the binary function object is to be bound.

Return Value

The unary function object that results from binding the first argument of the binary function object to the value left.

Remarks

Function binders are a kind of function adaptor. Because they return function objects, they can be used in certain types of function composition to construct more complicated and powerful expressions.

If func is an object of type Operation and c is a constant, then bind1st( func, c ) is the same as the binder1st class constructor binder1st<Operation>(func, c), and is more convenient to use.

Example

// functional_bind1st.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Creation of a user-defined function object

class greaterthan5: unary_function<int, bool>
{
public:
    result_type operator()(argument_type i)
    {
        return (result_type)(i > 5);
    }
};

int main()
{
    vector<int> v1;
    vector<int>::iterator Iter;

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
    {
        v1.push_back(5 * i);
    }

    cout << "The vector v1 = ( " ;
    for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)
        cout << *Iter << " ";
    cout << ")" << endl;

    // Count the number of integers > 10 in the vector
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1a;
    result1a = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind1st(less<int>(), 10));
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "
         << result1a << "." << endl;

    // Compare: counting the number of integers > 5 in the vector
    // with a user defined function object
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1b;
    result1b = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), greaterthan5());
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 5 is: "
         << result1b << "." << endl;

    // Count the number of integers < 10 in the vector
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result2;
    result2 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind2nd(less<int>(), 10));
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 less than 10 is: "
         << result2 << "." << endl;
}
The vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 )
The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: 3.
The number of elements in v1 greater than 5 is: 4.
The number of elements in v1 less than 10 is: 2.

bind2nd

A helper template function that creates an adaptor to convert a binary function object into a unary function object. It binds the second argument of the binary function to a specified value. Deprecated in C++11, removed in C++17.

template <class Operation, class Type>
    binder2nd <Operation> bind2nd(const Operation& func, const Type& right);

Parameters

func
The binary function object to be converted to a unary function object.

right
The value to which the second argument of the binary function object is to be bound.

Return Value

The unary function object result of binding the second argument of the binary function object to right.

Remarks

Function binders are a kind of function adaptor. Because they return function objects, they can be used in certain types of function composition to construct more complicated and powerful expressions.

If func is an object of type Operation and c is a constant, then bind2nd(func, c) is the same as the binder2nd class constructor binder2nd<Operation>(func, c), and more convenient to use.

Parameters

Callable
The type of the object to call.

Args
The types of the call arguments.

fn
The object to call.

args
The call arguments.

specification
The noexcept specification std::is_nothrow_invocable_v<Callable, Args>).

Remarks

Invokes the callable object fn using the parameters args. Effectively, INVOKE(std::forward<Callable>(fn), std::forward<Args>(args)...), where the pseudo-function INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) means one of the following things:

  • (t1.*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to member function of class T and t1 is an object of type T or a reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a type derived from T. That is, when std::is_base_of<T, std::decay_t<decltype(t1)>>::value is true.

  • (t1.get().*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to member function of class T and std::decay_t<decltype(t1)> is a specialization of std::reference_wrapper.

  • ((*t1).*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to member function of class T and t1 isn't one of the previous types.

  • t1.*f when N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t1 is an object of type T or a reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a type derived from T. That is, when std::is_base_of<T, std::decay_t<decltype(t1)>>::value is true.

  • t1.get().*f when N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T and std::decay_t<decltype(t1)> is a specialization of std::reference_wrapper.

  • (*t1).*f when N == 1 and f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t1 isn't one of the previous types.

  • f(t1, t2, ..., tN) in all other cases.

For information on the result type of a callable object, see invoke_result. For predicates on callable types, see is_invocable, is_invocable_r, is_nothrow_invocable, is_nothrow_invocable_r classes.

// functional_invoke.cpp
// compile using: cl /EHsc /std:c++17 functional_invoke.cpp
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

struct Demo
{
    int n_;

    Demo(int const n) : n_{n} {}

    std::invoke( d, 3, -7 );

    // Invoke a member function, like calling
    // d.difference( 29 ) or (d.*pmf)( 29 )
    std::invoke( &Demo::difference, d, 29 );
    std::invoke( pmf, pd, 13 );

    // Invoke a data member, like access to d.n_ or d.*pmd
    std::cout << "d.n_: " << std::invoke( &Demo::n_, d ) << "\n";
    std::cout << "pd->n_: " << std::invoke( pmd, pd ) << "\n";

    // Invoke a stand-alone (free) function
    std::invoke( divisible_by_3, 42 );

    // Invoke a lambda
    auto divisible_by_7 = []( int const i )
    {
        std::cout << i << ( i % 7 == 0 ? " is" : " isn't" )
            << " divisible by 7.\n";
    };
    std::invoke( divisible_by_7, 42 );
}
Demo operator( 3, -7 ) is -21
Demo.difference( 29 ) is 13
Demo.difference( 13 ) is 29
d.n_: 42
pd->n_: 42
42 is divisible by 3.
42 is divisible by 7.

mem_fn

Generates a simple call wrapper.

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

Parameters

RTy
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 the same as INVOKE(pm, t, a2, ..., aN). It doesn't throw any exceptions.

The returned call wrapper is derived from std::unary_function<cv Ty*, RTy> (and defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for RTy 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, RTy> (and defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for RTy, 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__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

not1

Returns the complement of a unary predicate. Deprecated for not_fn in C++17.

template <class UnaryPredicate>
unary_negate<UnaryPredicate> not1(const UnaryPredicate& predicate);

Parameters

predicate
The unary predicate to be negated.

Return Value

A unary predicate that is the negation of the unary predicate modified.

Remarks

If a unary_negate is constructed from a unary predicate predicate(x), then it returns !predicate(x).

Example

// functional_not1.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector<int> v1;
    vector<int>::iterator Iter;

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i <= 7; i++)
    {
        v1.push_back(5 * i);
    }

    cout << "The vector v1 = ( ";
    for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)
        cout << *Iter << " ";
    cout << ")" << endl;

    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1;
    // Count the elements greater than 10
    result1 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10));
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "
         << result1 << "." << endl;

    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result2;
    // Use the negator to count the elements less than or equal to 10
    result2 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(),
        not1(bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10)));

    cout << "The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: "
         << result2 << "." << endl;
}
The vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 )
The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: 5.
The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: 3.

not2

Returns the complement of a binary predicate. Deprecated for not_fn in C++17.

template <class BinaryPredicate>
binary_negate<BinaryPredicate> not2(const BinaryPredicate& func);

Parameters

func
The binary predicate to be negated.

Return Value

A binary predicate that is the negation of the binary predicate modified.

Remarks

If a binary_negate is constructed from a binary predicate binary_predicate(x, y), then it returns !binary_predicate(x, y).

Example

// functional_not2.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   vector <int> v1;
   vector <int>::iterator Iter1;

   int i;
   v1.push_back( 6262 );
   v1.push_back( 6262 );
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ )
   {
      v1.push_back( rand( ) );
   }

   cout << "Original vector v1 = ( " ;
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;

   // To sort in ascending order,
   // use default binary predicate less<int>( )
   sort( v1.begin( ), v1.end( ) );
   cout << "Sorted vector v1 = ( " ;
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;

   // To sort in descending order,
   // use the binary_negate helper function not2
   sort( v1.begin( ), v1.end( ), not2(less<int>( ) ) );
   cout << "Resorted vector v1 = ( " ;
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;
}
Original vector v1 = ( 6262 6262 41 18467 6334 26500 19169 )
Sorted vector v1 = ( 41 6262 6262 6334 18467 19169 26500 )
Resorted vector v1 = ( 26500 19169 18467 6334 6262 6262 41 )

not_fn

The not_fn function template takes a callable object and returns a callable object. When the returned callable object is later invoked with some arguments, it passes them to the original callable object, and logically negates the result. It preserves the const qualification and value category behavior of the wrapped callable object. not_fn is new in C++17, and replaces the deprecated std::not1, std::not2, std::unary_negate, and std::binary_negate.

template <class Callable>
/* unspecified */ not_fn(Callable&& func);

Parameters

func
A callable object used to construct the forwarding call wrapper.

Remarks

The template function returns a call wrapper like return call_wrapper(std::forward<Callable>(func)), based on this exposition-only class:

class call_wrapper
{
   using FD = decay_t<Callable>;
   explicit call_wrapper(Callable&& func);

public:
   call_wrapper(call_wrapper&&) = default;
   call_wrapper(call_wrapper const&) = default;

   template<class... Args>
     auto operator()(Args&&...) & -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD&(Args...)>>());

   template<class... Args>
     auto operator()(Args&&...) const& -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD const&(Args...)>>());

   template<class... Args>
     auto operator()(Args&&...) && -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD(Args...)>>());

   template<class... Args>
     auto operator()(Args&&...) const&& -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD const(Args...)>>());

private:
  FD fd;
};

The explicit constructor on the callable object func requires type std::decay_t<Callable> to satisfy the requirements of MoveConstructible, and is_constructible_v<FD, Callable> must be true. It initializes the wrapped callable object fd from std::forward<Callable>(func), and throws any exception thrown by construction of fd.

The wrapper exposes call operators distinguished by lvalue or rvalue reference category and const qualification as shown here:

template<class... Args> auto operator()(Args&&... args) & -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD&(Args...)>>());
template<class... Args> auto operator()(Args&&... args) const& -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD const&(Args...)>>());
template<class... Args> auto operator()(Args&&... args) && -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD(Args...)>>());
template<class... Args> auto operator()(Args&&... args) const&& -> decltype(!declval<invoke_result_t<FD const(Args...)>>());

The first two are the same as return !std::invoke(fd, std::forward<Args>(args)...). The second two are the same as return !std::invoke(std::move(fd), std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Example

// functional_not_fn_.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc /std:c++17
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v1 = { 99, 6264, 41, 18467, 6334, 26500, 19169 };
    auto divisible_by_3 = [](int i){ return i % 3 == 0; };

    std::cout << "Vector v1 = ( " ;
    for (const auto& item : v1)
    {
        std::cout << item << " ";
    }
    std::cout << ")" << std::endl;

    // Count the number of vector elements divisible by 3.
    int divisible =
        std::count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), divisible_by_3);
    std::cout << "Elements divisible by three: "
        << divisible << std::endl;

    // Count the number of vector elements not divisible by 3.
    int not_divisible =
        std::count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), std::not_fn(divisible_by_3));
    std::cout << "Elements not divisible by three: "
        << not_divisible << std::endl;
}
Vector v1 = ( 99 6264 41 18467 6334 26500 19169 )
Elements divisible by three: 2
Elements not divisible by three: 5

ptr_fun

Helper template functions used to convert unary and binary function pointers, respectively, into unary and binary adaptable functions. Deprecated in C++11, removed in C++17.

template <class Arg, class Result>
pointer_to_unary_function<Arg, Result, Result (*)(Arg)> ptr_fun(Result (*pfunc)(Arg));

template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1, Arg2, Result, Result (*)(Arg1, Arg2)> ptr_fun(Result (*pfunc)(Arg1, Arg2));

Parameters

pfunc
The unary or binary function pointer to be converted to an adaptable function.

Return Value

The first template function returns the unary function pointer_to_unary_function <Arg, Result>(* pfunc).

The second template function returns binary function pointer_to_binary_function <Arg1, Arg2, Result>(* pfunc).

Remarks

A function pointer is a function object. It may be passed to any algorithm that expects a function as a parameter, but it isn't adaptable. Information about its nested types is required to use it with an adaptor, for example, to bind a value to it or to negate it. The conversion of unary and binary function pointers by the ptr_fun helper function allows the function adaptors to work with unary and binary function pointers.

Example

// functional_ptr_fun.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
    using namespace std;
    vector <char*> v1;
    vector <char*>::iterator Iter1, RIter;

    v1.push_back ( "Open" );
    v1.push_back ( "up" );
    v1.push_back ( "the" );
    v1.push_back ( "opalescent" );
    v1.push_back ( "gates" );

    cout << "Original sequence contains: " ;
    for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; ++Iter1 )
        cout << *Iter1 << " ";
    cout << endl;

    // To search the sequence for "opalescent"
    // use a pointer_to_function conversion
    RIter = find_if( v1.begin( ), v1.end( ),
        not1 ( bind2nd (ptr_fun ( strcmp ), "opalescent" ) ) );

    if ( RIter != v1.end( ) )  
    {
        cout << "Found a match: " 
            << *RIter << endl;
    }
}

ref

Constructs a reference_wrapper from an argument.

template <class Ty>
    reference_wrapper<Ty> ref(Ty& arg);

template <class Ty>
    reference_wrapper<Ty> ref(reference_wrapper<Ty>& arg);

Return Value

A reference to arg; specifically, reference_wrapper<Ty>(arg).

Example

The following example defines two functions: one bound to a string variable, the other bound to a reference of the string variable computed by a call to ref. When the value of the variable changes, the first function continues to use the old value and the second function uses the new value.

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
using namespace std;
using namespace std::placeholders;

bool shorter_than(const string& l, const string& r)
{
    return l.size() < r.size();
}

int main()
{
    vector<string> v_original;
    v_original.push_back("tiger");
    v_original.push_back("cat");
    v_original.push_back("lion");
    v_original.push_back("cougar");

    copy(v_original.begin(), v_original.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
    cout << endl;

    string s("meow");

    function<bool (const string&)> f = bind(shorter_than, _1, s);
    function<bool (const string&)> f_ref = bind(shorter_than, _1, ref(s));

    vector<string> v;

    // Remove elements that are shorter than s ("meow")

    v = v_original;
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f), v.end());

    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
    cout << endl;

    // Now change the value of s.
    // f_ref, which is bound to ref(s), will use the
    // new value, while f is still bound to the old value.

    s = "kitty";

    // Remove elements that are shorter than "meow" (f is bound to old value of s)

    v = v_original;
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f), v.end());

    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
    cout << endl;

    // Remove elements that are shorter than "kitty" (f_ref is bound to ref(s))

    v = v_original;
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f_ref), v.end());

    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
    cout << endl;
}
tiger cat lion cougar
tiger lion cougar
tiger lion cougar
tiger cougar
