if — Boost.HigherOrderFunctions 0.6 documentation

# if

## Header

    #include <boost/hof/if.hpp>

## Description

The `if_` function decorator makes the function callable if the boolean condition is true. The `if_c` version can be used to give a boolean condition directly(instead of relying on an integral constant).

When `if_` is false, the function is not callable. It is a subtitution failure to call the function.

## Synopsis

    template<class IntegralConstant>
    constexpr auto if_(IntegralConstant);

    template<bool B, class F>
    constexpr auto if_c(F);

## Requirements

IntegralConstant must be:

- IntegralConstant

F must be:

- ConstInvocable
- MoveConstructible

## Example

    #include <boost/hof.hpp>
    #include <cassert>

    struct sum_f
    {
        template<class T>
        int operator()(T x, T y) const
        {
            return boost::hof::first_of(
                boost::hof::if_(std::is_integral<T>())(boost::hof::_ + boost::hof::_),
                boost::hof::always(0)
            )(x, y);
        }
    };

    int main() {
        assert(sum_f()(1, 2) == 3);
        assert(sum_f()("", "") == 0);
    }
