std::reference_wrapper

Member functions

reference_wrapper::reference_wrapper

reference_wrapper::operator=

reference_wrapper::getreference_wrapper::operator T&

reference_wrapper::operator()

 

template< class... ArgTypes > typename std::result_of<T&(ArgTypes&&...)>::type     operator() ( ArgTypes&&... args ) const;		(since C++11)

Calls the Callable object, reference to which is stored. This function is available only if the stored reference points to a Callable object.

Parameters

args

-

arguments to pass to the called function

Return value

The return value of the called function.

Exceptions

(none)

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
 
void f1()
{
    std::cout << "reference to function called\n";
}
void f2(int n)
{
    std::cout << "bind expression called with " << n << " as the argument\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::reference_wrapper<void()> ref1 = std::ref(f1);
    ref1();
 
    auto b = std::bind(f2, std::placeholders::_1);
    auto ref2 = std::ref(b);
    ref2(7);
 
    auto c = []{std::cout << "lambda function called\n"; };
    auto ref3 = std::ref(c);
    ref3();
}

Output:

reference to function called
bind expression called with 7 as the argument
lambda function called
