20.8.2 [func.require] p1 says:
1 Define INVOKE(f, t1, t2, ..., tN) as follows:
- (t1.*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to a member function of a class T and t1 is an object of type T or a reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a type derived from T;
- ((*t1).*f)(t2, ..., tN) when f is a pointer to a member function of a class T and t1 is not one of the types described in the previous item;
- t1.*f when f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t1 is an object of type T or a reference to an object of type T or a reference to an object of a type derived from T;
- (*t1).*f when f is a pointer to member data of a class T and t1 is not one of the types described in the previous item;
- f(t1, t2, ..., tN) in all other cases.
The question is: What happens in the 3rd and 4th bullets when N > 1?
Does the presence of t2, ..., tN get ignored, or does it make the INVOKE ill formed?
Here is sample code which presents the problem in a concrete example:
#include <functional> #include <cassert> struct S { char data; }; typedef char S::*PMD; int main() { S s; PMD pmd = &S::data; std::reference_wrapper<PMD> r(pmd); r(s, 3.0) = 'a'; // well formed? assert(s.data == 'a'); }
Without the "3.0" the example is well formed.
[Note: Daniel provided wording to make it explicit that the above example is ill-formed. — end note ]
