## Detailed Description

sigc::retype() alters a sigc::pointer_functor, a sigc::mem_functor or a sigc::slot in that it makes C-style casts to the functor's parameter types of all parameters passed through operator()().

Use this adaptor for inline conversion between numeric or other simple types.

Example:
  void foo(int);
  sigc::retype(sigc::ptr_fun(&foo))(5.7F); // calls foo(5)

The functor that sigc::retype() returns can be passed directly into sigc::signal::connect().

Example:
  sigc::signal<void(float)> some_signal;
  void foo(int);
  some_signal.connect(sigc::retype(sigc::ptr_fun(&foo)));

This adaptor builds an exception in that it only works on sig::pointer_functor, sigc::mem_functor and sigc::slot because it needs sophisticated information about the parameter types that cannot be deduced from arbitrary functor types.

sigc::retype_return() alters the return type of an arbitrary functor. Like in sigc::retype() a C-style cast is performed. Usage sigc::retype_return() is not restricted to libsigc++ functor types but you need to specify the new return type as a template parameter.

Example:
  float foo();
  std::cout << sigc::retype_return<int>(&foo)(); // converts foo's return value to an integer

## Function Documentation

template <template< typename T_func, typename...T_arg > class T_functor, typename T_func , typename... T_arg>

decltype(auto) sigc::retype | ( | const T_functor< T_func, T_arg...> & | functor | ) |
| inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::retype_functor which performs C-style casts on the parameters passed on to the functor.

Parameters

  functor | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes functor performing C-style casts on the paramters passed on.

template <template< typename T_return, typename...T_arg > class T_functor, typename T_return , typename... T_arg>

decltype(auto) sigc::retype | ( | const T_functor< T_return(T_arg...)> & | functor | ) |
| inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::retype_functor which performs C-style casts on the parameters passed on to the functor.

Parameters

  functor | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes functor performing C-style casts on the paramters passed on.

template <typename T_return , typename T_functor >

retype_return_functor<T_return, T_functor> sigc::retype_return | ( | const T_functor & | functor | ) |
| inline

Creates an adaptor of type sigc::retype_return_functor which performs a C-style cast on the return value of the passed functor.

The template argument T_return specifies the target type of the cast.

Parameters

  functor | Functor that should be wrapped.

Returns
  Adaptor that executes functor performing a C-style cast on the return value.
