std::function<R(Args...)>::operator bool - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| explicit operator bool() const noexcept; | | (since C++11) | | ---------------------------------------- | | ------------- |

Checks whether *this stores a callable function target, i.e. is not empty.

[edit] Parameters

(none)

[edit] Return value

true if *this stores a callable function target, false otherwise.

[edit] Example

#include #include   void sampleFunction() { std::cout << "This is the sample function!\n"; }   void checkFunc(std::function<void()> const& func) { // Use operator bool to determine if callable target is available. if (func)
{ std::cout << "Function is not empty! Calling function.\n"; func(); } else std::cout << "Function is empty. Nothing to do.\n"; }   int main() { std::function<void()> f1; std::function<void()> f2(sampleFunction);   std::cout << "f1: "; checkFunc(f1);   std::cout << "f2: "; checkFunc(f2); }

Output:

f1: Function is empty. Nothing to do. f2: Function is not empty! Calling function. This is the sample function!
