This question is going to be very much a duplicate, but I've read many of the examples on stack overflow and the common solution is not compiling for me, and I'm trying to figure out why.
So I have a function I want to store in another class, the minimal example of what I'm doing outlined below. It does not compile as this is the issue.
It was working when ParentClass::someFunction only had a single argument, but going to 2, and changing the placeholder to 2 did not work out.
Can someone point out what mistake I am making here?
#include <functional>
#include <string>
class StorageClass{
public:
//In the actual code it get's passed to another another level
//hence why I'm passing by reference rather than value
void AddFunction(const std::function<void(std::string& a, int b)>& function);
private:
std::function<void(std::string& a, int b)> callBack;
};
void StorageClass::AddFunction(const std::function<void(std::string& a, int b)>& function){
callBack = function;
}
class ParentClass {
public:
ParentClass();
void someFunction(std::string a, int b);
private:
StorageClass storageClass;
};
ParentClass::ParentClass() {
storageClass.AddFunction(std::bind(&ParentClass::someFunction, this, std::placeholders::_2));
}
void ParentClass::someFunction(std::string a, int b) {
}
int main()
{
ParentClass parentClass;
}
Your function has two parameters, so you need two placeholders in your bind expression.
std::bind(&ParentClass::someFunction, this, std::placeholders::_2)
needs to be
std::bind(&ParentClass::someFunction, this, std::placeholders::_1, std::placeholders::_2)
Alternatively you can simplify this with a lambda like
[this](auto a, auto b){ this->someFunction(a, b); }
