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
.
Parameters
pm | - | pointer to member that will be wrapped |
Return value
std::mem_fn
returns a call wrapper
fn
of unspecified type that has the following members:
std::mem_fn return type

(constexpr since C++20) | |
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 ) ... .
Example
Use
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
