explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
 (since C++23)

Checks whether *this stores a callable target, i.e. is not empty.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

true if *this stores a callable target, false otherwise.

Example

Run this code
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
 
void sampleFunction()
{
    std::cout << "This is the sample function!\n";
}
 
void checkFunc( std::move_only_function<void() const> const &func )
{
    // Use operator bool to determine if callable target is available.
    if( func ) {
        std::cout << "Function is not empty! Calling function.\n";
        func();
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "Function is empty. Nothing to do.\n";
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    std::move_only_function<void() const> f1{};
    std::move_only_function<void() const> f2{ sampleFunction };
 
    std::cout << "f1: ";
    checkFunc(f1);
 
    std::cout << "f2: ";
    checkFunc(f2);
}

Output: 

f1: Function is empty. Nothing to do.
f2: Function is not empty! Calling function.
This is the sample function!
