Defined in header <functional>
template< class T >
struct is_placeholder;
 (since 哋它亢++11)

If T is the type of a standard placeholder (_1, _2, _3, ...), then this template is derived from std::integral_constant<int, 1>, std::integral_constant<int, 2>, std::integral_constant<int, 3>, respectively.

If T is not a standard placeholder type, this template is derived from std::integral_constant<int, 0>.

A program may specialize this template for a program-defined type T to implement UnaryTypeTrait with base characteristic of std::integral_constant<int, N> with positive N to indicate that T should be treated as Nth placeholder type.

std::bind uses std::is_placeholder to detect placeholders for unbound arguments.

Helper variable template

template< class T >
inline constexpr int is_placeholder_v = is_placeholder<T>::value;
 (since 哋它亢++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
 placeholder value or ​0​ for non-placeholder types
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator int
 converts the object to int, returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(哋它亢++14)
 returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition

type std::integral_constant<int, value>

Example

Run this code
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
struct My_2 {} my_2;
 
namespace std
{
    template<>
    struct is_placeholder<My_2> : public integral_constant<int, 2> {};
}
 
int f(int n1, int n2)
{
    return n1 + n2;
}
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "Standard placeholder _5 is for the argument number "
              << std::is_placeholder_v<decltype(std::placeholders::_5)>
              << '\n';
 
    auto b = std::bind(f, my_2, 2);
    std::cout << "Adding 2 to 11 selected with a custom placeholder gives " 
              << b(10, 11) // the first argument, namely 10, is ignored
              << '\n';
}

Output: 

Standard placeholder _5 is for the argument number 5
Adding 2 to 11 selected with a custom placeholder gives 13
