I'm trying to create a generic wrapper function that takes a function as a template argument and takes the same arguments as that function as its arguments. For example:
template <typename F, F func>
/* return type of F */ wrapper(Ts... Args /* not sure how to get Ts*/)
{
// do stuff
auto ret = F(std::forward<Ts>(args)...);
// do some other stuff
return ret;
}
The solution needs to be castable to a function pointer with the same type as func
so that I can pass it to a C api. In other words, the solution needs to be a function and not a function object. Most importantly, I need to be able to do work in the wrapper function.
If the inline comments aren't clear, I'd like to be able to do something like the following:
struct c_api_interface {
int (*func_a)(int, int);
int (*func_b)(char, char, char);
};
int foo(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
int bar(char a, char b, char c)
{
return a + b * c;
}
c_api_interface my_interface;
my_interface.func_a = wrapper<foo>;
my_interface.func_b = wrapper<bar>;
I looked for related posts and found these, but none of them are quite what I'm trying to do. Most of these posts concern function objects. Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

How does wrapping a function pointer and function object work in generic code?
How do I get the argument types of a function pointer in a variadic template class?

In response to the first 2 responses, I edited the question to make it clear that I need to be able to do work in the wrapper function (i.e. modify some global state before and after the call to the wrapped function)
#include <utility>
#include <iostream>
struct c_api_interface { int (*func_a)(int, int); int (*func_b)(char, char, char); };
int foo(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
int bar(char a, char b, char c) { return a + b * c; }
template<typename Fn, Fn fn, typename... Args>
typename std::result_of<Fn(Args...)>::type
wrapper(Args... args) {
std::cout << "and ....it's a wrap ";
return fn(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
}
#define WRAPIT(FUNC) wrapper<decltype(&FUNC), &FUNC>
int main() {
c_api_interface my_interface;
my_interface.func_a = WRAPIT(foo);
my_interface.func_b = WRAPIT(bar);
std:: cout << my_interface.func_a(1,1) << std::endl;
std:: cout << my_interface.func_b('a','b', 1) << std::endl;
return 0;
}

template<class F, F f> struct wrapper_impl;
template<class R, class... Args, R(*f)(Args...)>
struct wrapper_impl<R(*)(Args...), f> {
static R wrap(Args... args) {
// stuff
return f(args...);
}
};
template<class F, F f>
constexpr auto wrapper = wrapper_impl<F, f>::wrap;
Use as wrapper<decltype(&foo), foo>
