A non-static member function must be called with an object. That is, it always implicitly passes "this" pointer as its argument.
Because your std::function
signature specifies that your function doesn't take any arguments (<void(void)>
), you must bind the first (and the only) argument.
std::function<void(void)> f = std::bind(&Foo::doSomething, this);
If you want to bind a function with parameters, you need to specify placeholders:
using namespace std::placeholders;
std::function<void(int,int)> f = std::bind(&Foo::doSomethingArgs, this, std::placeholders::_1, std::placeholders::_2);
Or, if your compiler supports C++11 lambdas:
std::function<void(int,int)> f = [=](int a, int b) {
this->doSomethingArgs(a, b);
}
(I don't have a C++11 capable compiler at hand right now, so I can't check this one.)
