Creates a member function wrapper object, deducing the target type from the template arguments. The wrapper object expects a pointer to an object of type T as the first parameter to its operator().

1) Effectively calls std::mem_fun_t<S,T>(f) or std::const_mem_fun_t<S,T>(f).

2) Effectively calls std::mem_fun1_t<S,T>(f) or std::const_mem_fun1_t<S,T>(f).

This function and the related types were deprecated in C++11 and removed in C++17 in favor of the more general std::mem_fn and std::bind, both of which create callable adapter-compatible function objects from member functions.

Parameters

f

-

pointer to a member function to create a wrapper for

Return value

A function object wrapping f.

Exceptions

(none)

Notes

The difference between std::mem_fun and std::mem_fun_ref is that the former produces an function wrapper that expects a pointer to an object, whereas the latter -- a reference.

mem_fun_ref (deprecated in C++11)(removed in C++17)

creates a wrapper from a pointer to member function, callable with a reference to object (function template)
