Defined in header <functional>
template< class Arg, class Result >

std::pointer_to_unary_function<Arg,Result>

ptr_fun( Result (*f)(Arg) );
(1) (deprecated in C++11)
(removed in C++17)
template< class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result >

std::pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result>

ptr_fun( Result (*f)(Arg1, Arg2) );
(2) (deprecated in C++11)
(removed in C++17)

Creates a function wrapper object (either std::pointer_to_unary_function or std::pointer_to_binary_function), deducing the target type from the template arguments.

1) Effectively calls std::pointer_to_unary_function<Arg,Result>(f).

2) Effectively calls std::pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result>(f).

This function and the related types are deprecated as of C++11 in favor of the more general std::function and std::ref, both of which create callable adapter-compatible function objects from plain functions.

Parameters

f - pointer to a function to create a wrapper for

Return value

A function object wrapping f.

Exceptions

(none)

Example

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>

bool isvowel(char c)
{
    return std::string("aeoiuAEIOU").find(c) != std::string::npos;
}

int main()
{
    std::string s = "Hello, world!";
    std::copy_if(s.begin(), s.end(), std::ostreambuf_iterator<char>(std::cout),
                 std::not1(std::ptr_fun(isvowel)));
// C++11 alternatives: 
//               std::not1(std::cref(isvowel)));
//               std::not1(std::function<bool(char)>(isvowel)));

}

Output:

Hll, wrld!
