std::move_only_function::operator()

R operator()( Args... args ) /*cv*/ /*ref*/ noexcept(/*noex*/);

Invokes the stored callable target with the parameters args. The /*cv*/, /*ref*/, and /*noex*/ parts of operator() are identical to those of the template parameter of std::move_only_function.

Equivalent to return std::invoke_r<R>(/*cv-ref-cast*/(f), std::forward<Args>(args)...);, where f is a cv-unqualified lvalue that denotes the target object of *this, and /*cv-ref-cast*/(f) is equivalent to:

• f if cv ref is either empty or &, or
• std::as_const(f) if cv ref is either const or const &, or
• std::move(f) if cv ref is &&, or
• std::move(std::as_const(f)) if cv ref is const &&.

The behavior is undefined if *this is empty.

Parameters

Return value

std::invoke_r<R>(/*cv-ref-cast*/(f), std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Exceptions

Propagates the exception thrown by the underlying function call.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
 
void call(std::move_only_function<int() const> f)  // can be passed by value
{ 
    std::cout << f() << '\n';
}
 
int normal_function() 
{
    return 42;
}
 
int main()
{
    int n = 1;
    auto lambda = [&n](){ return n; };
    std::move_only_function<int() const> f = lambda;
    call(std::move(f));
 
    n = 2;
    call(lambda); 
 
    f = normal_function; 
    call(std::move(f));
}
