# std::is_bind_expression

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | functional

Defined in header `<functional>` |  |
template< class T > struct is_bind_expression; |  | (since C++11)

If `T` is the type produced by a call to std::bind, this template is derived from std::true_type. For any other type, this template is derived from std::false_type.

This template may be specialized for a user-defined type `T` to implement `UnaryTypeTrait` with BaseCharacteristic of std::true_type to indicate that `T` should be treated by std::bind as if it were the type of a bind subexpression: when a bind-generated function object is invoked, a bound argument of this type will be invoked as a function object and will be given all the unbound arguments passed to the bind-generated object.

### [edit] Helper variable template

template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_bind_expression_v = is_bind_expression<T>::value; |  | (since C++17)

[edit]

## Inherited from std::integral_constant

### Member constants

value [static] | true if `T` is a function object generated by std::bind, false otherwise (public static member constant)

### Member functions

operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns `value` (public member function)
operator() (C++14) | returns `value` (public member function)

### Member types

Type | Definition
`value_type` | `bool`
`type` | std::integral_constant<bool, value>

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <type_traits>
    #include <functional>

    struct MyBind {
        typedef int result_type;
        int operator()(int a, int b) const { return a + b; }
    };

    namespace std {
        template<>
        struct is_bind_expression<MyBind> : public true_type {};
    }

    int f(int n1, int n2)
    {
        return n1+n2;
    }

    int main()
    {
        // as if bind(f, bind(MyBind::operator(), _1, _2), 2)
        auto b = std::bind(f, MyBind(), 2);

        std::cout << "Adding 2 to the sum of 10 and 11 gives " << b(10, 11) << '\n';
    }

Output:

    Adding 2 to the sum of 10 and 11 gives 23
