Deduction guides(C++17)

 

Defined in header <functional>
template<class R, class... ArgTypes> function( R(*)(ArgTypes...))-> function<R(ArgTypes...)>;	(1)	(since C++17)
template<class F > function( F )-> function</*see below*/>;	(2)	(since C++17)
template<class F > function( F )-> function</*see below*/>;	(3)	(since C++23)
template<class F > function( F )-> function</*see below*/>;	(4)	(since C++23)

1) This deduction guide is provided for std::function to allow deduction from functions.

2) This overload participates in overload resolution only if &F::operator() is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand and decltype(&F::operator()) is of the form R(G::*)(A...) (optionally cv-qualified, optionally noexcept, optionally lvalue reference qualified). The deduced type is std::function<R(A...)>.

3) This overload participates in overload resolution only if &F::operator() is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand and F::operator() is an explicit object parameter function whose type is of form R(G, A...) or R(G, A...)noexcept. The deduced type is std::function<R(A...)>.

4) This overload participates in overload resolution only if &F::operator() is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand and F::operator() is a static member function whose type is of form R(A...) or R(A...)noexcept. The deduced type is std::function<R(A...)>.

Notes

These deduction guides do not allow deduction from a function with ellipsis parameter, and the ... in the types is always treated as a pack expansion.

The type deduced by these deduction guides may change in a later standard revision (in particular, this might happen if noexcept support is added to std::function in a later standard).

Example

Run this code

#include <functional>int func(double){return0;}int main(){std::function f{func};// guide #1 deduces function<int(double)>int i =5;std::function g =[&](double){return i;};// guide #2 deduces function<int(double)>}

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3238	C++17	behavior of (2) was unclear when F::operator() is &&-qualified	clarified to be excluded from overload resolution
