Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T > struct is_member_function_pointer;		(since C++11)

std::is_member_function_pointer is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether T is a non-static member function pointer. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is a non-static member function pointer type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_member_function_pointer or std::is_member_function_pointer_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters

T

-

a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T > constexpr bool is_member_function_pointer_v =     is_member_function_pointer<T>::value;		(since C++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value [static]

true if T is a member function pointer type, 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>

Possible implementation

template<class T> struct is_member_function_pointer_helper : std::false_type {};   template<class T, class U> struct is_member_function_pointer_helper<T U::*> : std::is_function<T> {};   template<class T> struct is_member_function_pointer : is_member_function_pointer_helper<typename std::remove_cv<T>::type> {};

Example

Run this code

#include <type_traits>
 
class A
{
public:
    void member() {}
};
 
int main()
{
    // fails at compile time if A::member is a data member and not a function
    static_assert(std::is_member_function_pointer<decltype(&A::member)>::value,
                  "A::member is not a member function."); 
}
