std::function::operator=(3)

NAME
std::function::operator= - std::function::operator=

Synopsis
   function& operator=( const function& other ); (1) (since C++11)
   function& operator=( function&& other ); (2) (since C++11)
   function& operator=( std::nullptr_t ) noexcept; (3) (since C++11)
   template< class F > (4) (since C++11)
   function& operator=( F&& f );
   template< class F > (5) (since C++11)
   function& operator=( std::reference_wrapper<F> f ) noexcept;
   Assigns a new target to std::function.
   1) Assigns a copy of target of other, as if by executing
   function(other).swap(*this);
   2) Moves the target of other to *this. other is in a valid state with an unspecified
   value.
   3) Drops the current target. *this is empty after the call.
   4) Sets the target of *this to the callable f, as if by executing
   function(std::forward<F>(f)).swap(*this);. This operator does not participate in
   overload resolution unless f is Callable for argument types Args... and return type
   R.
   5) Sets the target of *this to a copy of f, as if by executing
   function(f).swap(*this);

Parameters
   other - another std::function object to copy the target of
   f - a callable to initialize the target with

Type requirements
   -
   F must meet the requirements of Callable.

Return value
   *this

Notes
   Even before allocator support was removed from std::function in C++17, these
   assignment operators use the default allocator rather than the allocator of *this or
   the allocator of other (see LWG issue 2386).
   Defect reports
   The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to
   previously published C++ standards.
      DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
   LWG 2132 C++11 the overload taking a Callable object might be constrained
                       ambiguous
   LWG 2401 C++11 assignment operator from std::nullptr_t not required
                       required to be noexcept
