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

1) Effectively calls std::mem_fun_ref_t <S,T> (f) or std::const_mem_fun_ref_t <S,T> (f)
2) Effectively calls std::mem_fun1_ref_t <S,T> (f) or std::const_mem_fun1_ref_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

Parameters

f - pointer to a member function to create a wrapper for

Return value

A function object wrapping f.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Notes

The difference between std::mem_fun and std::mem_fun_ref

Example

Uses std::mem_fun_ref to bind std::string's member function size()

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> v = {"once", "upon", "a", "time"};
    std::transform(v.cbegin(), v.cend(),
                   std::ostream_iterator<std::size_t>(std::cout, " "),
                   std::mem_fun_ref(&std::string::size));
}

Output:

4 4 1 4
