std::bind(3) C++ Standard Libary std::bind(3) NAME std::bind - std::bind Synopsis Defined in header <functional> template< class F, class... Args > (since C++11) /*unspecified*/ bind( F&& f, Args&&... args ); (until C++20) template< class F, class... Args > constexpr /*unspecified*/ bind( F&& f, Args&&... (since C++20) args ); (1) template< class R, class F, class... Args > (since C++11) /*unspecified*/ bind( F&& f, Args&&... args ); (until C++20) template< class R, class F, class... Args > (2) constexpr /*unspecified*/ bind( F&& f, Args&&... (since C++20) args ); The function template bind generates a forwarding call wrapper for f. Calling this wrapper is equivalent to invoking f with some of its arguments bound to args. Parameters Callable object (function object, pointer to function, refer- ence to function, f - pointer to member function, or pointer to data member) that will be bound to some arguments args - list of arguments to bind, with the unbound arguments re- placed by the placeholders _1, _2, _3... of namespace std::placeholders Return value A function object of unspecified type T, for which std::is_bind_ex- pression<T>::value == true. It has the following members: std::bind return type Member objects The return type of std::bind holds a member object of type std::de- cay<F>::type constructed from std::forward<F>(f), and one object per each of args..., of type std::decay<Arg_i>::type, similarly constructed from std::for- ward<Arg_i>(arg_i). Constructors The return type of std::bind is CopyConstructible if all of its mem- ber objects (specified above) are CopyConstructible, and is MoveConstructible otherwise. The type defines the following members: Member type result_type 1) (deprecated in C++17) If F is a pointer to function or a pointer to member function, result_type is the return type of F. If F is a class (until C++20) type with nested typedef result_type, then result_type is F::result_type. Otherwise no result_type is defined. 2) (deprecated in C++17) result_type is exactly R. Member function operator() Given an object g obtained from an earlier call to bind, when it is invoked in a function call expression g(u1, u2, ... uM), an invocation of the stored object takes place, as if by 1) INVOKE(fd, std::forward<V1>(v1), std::forward<V2>(v2), ..., std::forward<VN>(vN)), or 2) INVOKE<R>(fd, std::forward<V1>(v1), std::forward<V2>(v2), ..., std::forward<VN>(vN)), where INVOKE is the operation specified in Callable, fd is a value of type std::decay<F>::type the values and types of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN are determined as specified below. * If the stored argument arg is of type std::reference_wrapper<T> (for example, std::ref or std::cref was used in the initial call to bind), then the argument vn in the INVOKE operation above is arg.get() and the type Vn in the same call is T&: the stored argument is passed by reference into the in- voked function object. * If the stored argument arg is of type T for which std::is_bind_expression<T>::value == true (for example, another bind expression was passed directly into the initial call to bind), then bind performs function composition: instead of passing the function object that the bind subexpression would return, the subexpression is invoked eagerly, and its re- turn value is passed to the outer invokable object. If the bind subexpression has any placeholder arguments, they are shared with the outer bind (picked out of u1, u2, ...). Specifically, the argument vn in the INVOKE operation above is arg(std::forward<Uj>(uj)...) and the type Vn in the same call is std::result_of<T cv &(Uj&&...)>::type&& (until C++17) std::invoke_result_t<T cv &, Uj&&...>&& (since C++17) (cv qualification is the same as that of g). * If the stored argument arg is of type T, for which std::is_placeholder<T>::value != 0 (meaning, a placeholder such as std::placeholders::_1, _2, _3, ... was used as the argument to the initial call to bind), then the argument indicated by the placeholder (u1 for _1, u2 for _2, etc) is passed to the invok- able object: the argument vn in the INVOKE operation above is std::for- ward<Uj>(uj) and the corresponding type Vn in the same call is Uj&&. * Otherwise, the ordinary stored argument arg is passed to the in- vokable object as lvalue argument: the argument vn in the INVOKE operation above is simply arg and the corresponding type Vn is T cv &, where cv is the same cv- qualification as that of g. If some of the arguments that are supplied in the call to g() are not matched by any placeholders stored in g, the unused arguments are evaluated and discarded. An invocation of operator() is non-throwing or is a constant subexpression (since C++20) if and only if so is the underlying INVOKE operation. operator() participates in overload resolution only if the INVOKE operation is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand. If g is volatile-qualified (i.e., its cv-qualifiers are either volatile or const volatile), the program is ill-formed. Exceptions Only throws if construction of std::decay<F>::type from std::for- ward<F>(f) throws, or any of the constructors for std::decay<Arg_i>::type from the cor- responding std::forward<Arg_i>(arg_i) throws where Arg_i is the ith type and arg_i is the ith argument in Args... args. Notes As described in Callable, when invoking a pointer to non-static mem- ber function or pointer to non-static data member, the first argument has to be a reference or pointer (including, possibly, smart pointer such as std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr) to an object whose member will be accessed. The arguments to bind are copied or moved, and are never passed by reference unless wrapped in std::ref or std::cref. Duplicate placeholders in the same bind expression (multiple _1's for example) are allowed, but the results are only well defined if the corresponding argument (u1) is an lvalue or non-movable rvalue.
