I am trying to bind a method (test) which is overload in a namespace EgammaParameters in the class Photon. As far as I understand, I need to specifically tell C which overloaded method it should use, so I tried to use static casting like:
std::bind(static_cast<double(&)(const xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType)>(&xAOD::Photon::test), photon,xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType::var1);
However, this gives me the error error: invalid static_cast from type ‘’ to type ‘double (&)(xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType)
. What am I missing?
CodePudding user response:
Using lambda is easier:
lookup_callback["test"] = [=] {
return photon->test(xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType::var1);
};
If you really want to use bind:
lookup_callback["test"] = std::bind(
static_cast<double (xAOD::Photon::*)
(xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType) const>(
&xAOD::Photon::test),
photon,
xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType::var1);
And I would suggest at least a helper alias:
using TestType
= double (xAOD::Photon::*) (xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType) const;
lookup_callback["test"] = std::bind(
static_cast<TestType>(&xAOD::Photon::test),
photon,
xAOD::EgammaParameters::ShowerShapeType::var1);
And since C 20 I would suggest replacing std::bind
with std::bind_front
.
