22.10.6 Class template reference_wrapper [refwrap]

22.10.6.1 General [refwrap.general]

🔗
namespace std { template<class T> class reference_wrapper { public: // types using type = T; // [refwrap.const], constructors template<class U> constexpr reference_wrapper(U&&) noexcept(see below); constexpr reference_wrapper(const reference_wrapper& x) noexcept; // [refwrap.assign], assignment constexpr reference_wrapper& operator=(const reference_wrapper& x) noexcept; // [refwrap.access], access constexpr operator T& () const noexcept; constexpr T& get() const noexcept; // [refwrap.invoke], invocation template<class... ArgTypes> constexpr invoke_result_t<T&, ArgTypes...> operator()(ArgTypes&&...) const noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v<T&, ArgTypes...>); }; template<class T> reference_wrapper(T&) -> reference_wrapper<T>; }
1
#
reference_wrapper<T> is a Cpp17CopyConstructible and Cpp17CopyAssignable wrapper around a reference to an object or function of type T.
2
#
reference_wrapper<T> is a trivially copyable type ([basic.types.general]).
3
#
The template parameter T of reference_wrapper may be an incomplete type.

22.10.6.2 Constructors [refwrap.const]

🔗
template<class U> constexpr reference_wrapper(U&& u) noexcept(see below);
1
#
Let FUN denote the exposition-only functions void FUN(T&) noexcept; void FUN(T&&) = delete;
2
#
Constraints: The expression FUN(declval<U>()) is well-formed and is_same_v<remove_cvref_t<U>, reference_wrapper> is false.
3
#
Effects: Creates a variable r as if by T& r = std​::​forward<U>(u), then constructs a reference_wrapper object that stores a reference to r.
4
#
Remarks: The exception specification is equivalent to noexcept(FUN(declval<U>())).
🔗
constexpr reference_wrapper(const reference_wrapper& x) noexcept;
5
#
Effects: Constructs a reference_wrapper object that stores a reference to x.get().

22.10.6.3 Assignment [refwrap.assign]

🔗
constexpr reference_wrapper& operator=(const reference_wrapper& x) noexcept;
1
#
Postconditions: *this stores a reference to x.get().

22.10.6.4 Access [refwrap.access]

🔗
constexpr operator T& () const noexcept;
1
#
Returns: The stored reference.
🔗
constexpr T& get() const noexcept;
2
#
Returns: The stored reference.

22.10.6.5 Invocation [refwrap.invoke]

🔗
template<class... ArgTypes> constexpr invoke_result_t<T&, ArgTypes...> operator()(ArgTypes&&... args) const noexcept(is_nothrow_invocable_v<T&, ArgTypes...>);
1
#
Mandates: T is a complete type.
2
#
Returns: INVOKE(get(), std​::​forward<ArgTypes>(args)...).
([func.require])

22.10.6.6 Helper functions [refwrap.helpers]

1
#
The template parameter T of the following ref and cref function templates may be an incomplete type.
🔗
template<class T> constexpr reference_wrapper<T> ref(T& t) noexcept;
2
#
Returns: reference_wrapper<T>(t).
🔗
template<class T> constexpr reference_wrapper<T> ref(reference_wrapper<T> t) noexcept;
3
#
Returns: t.
🔗
template<class T> constexpr reference_wrapper<const T> cref(const T& t) noexcept;
4
#
Returns: reference_wrapper<const T>(t).
🔗
template<class T> constexpr reference_wrapper<const T> cref(reference_wrapper<T> t) noexcept;
5
#
Returns: t.
