std::is_bind_expression

If T is a type produced by a call to std::bind (but not std::bind_front or std::bind_back), this template is derived from std::true_type. For any other type (unless user-specialized), this template is derived from std::false_type.

This template may be specialized for a user-defined type T to implement UnaryTypeTrait with base characteristic 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.

Helper variable template

Example

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
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(), _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';
}

Adding 2 to the sum of 10 and 11 gives 23
