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.
The overloads (2) were introduced in C++11 but removed in C++14 as defect #2048.
| pm | - | pointer to member that will be wrapped |
std::mem_fn returns a call wrapper of unspecified type that has the following members:
| type | definition |
|---|---|
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 |
template<class... Args> /* see below */ operator()(Args&&... args); |
Let fn be the call wrapper returned by a call to std::mem_fn with a pointer to member pm. Then the expression fn(t, a2, ..., aN) is equivalent to INVOKE(pm, t, a2, ..., aN), where INVOKE is the operation defined in Callable. (Thus, the return type of operator() is std::result_of<decltype(pm)(Args&&...)>::type.).
Each argument in args is perfectly forwarded, as if by std::forward<Args>(args)....

Use mem_fn to store and execute a member function and a member object:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
struct Foo {
void display_greeting() {
std::cout << "Hello, world.\n";
}
void display_number(int i) {
std::cout << "number: " << i << '\n';
}
int data = 7;
};
int main() {
Foo f;
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';
}Output:
Hello, world. number: 42 data: 7
Demonstrates the effect of the C++14 changes to the specification of std::mem_fn.
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
struct X {
int x;
int& easy() {return x;}
int& get() {return x;}
const int& get() const {return x;}
};
int main(void)
{
auto a = std::mem_fn (&X::easy); // no problem at all
// auto b = std::mem_fn<int& >(&X::get ); // no longer works in C++14
auto c = std::mem_fn<int&()>(&X::get ); // works with both C++11 and C++14
auto d = [] (X& x) {return x.get();}; // another approach to overload resolution
X x = {33};
std::cout << "a() = " << a(x) << '\n';
std::cout << "c() = " << c(x) << '\n';
std::cout << "d() = " << d(x) << '\n';
}Output:
a() = 33 c() = 33 d() = 33
