  You are absolutely right of course! No idea, why I thought std::function existed before C++11. Mea culpa! > Furthermore absolutely no one should use std::bind, it's an absolute abomination. Agree 100%! I almost always use a wrapper lambda. However, it's worth pointing out that C++20 gave us std::bind_front(), which is really useful if you want to just bind the first N arguments: struct Foo { void bar(int a, int b, int c); }; Foo foo; using Callback = std::function<void(int, int, int)>; // with std::bind (ugh): using namespace std::placeholders; Callback cb1(std::bind(&Foo::bar, &foo, _1, _2, _3)); // lambda (without perfect forwarding): Callback cb2([&foo](auto&&... args) { foo.bar(args...); }); // lambda (with perfect forwarding): Callback cb3([&foo](auto&&... args) { foo.bar(std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...); }); // std::bind_front Callback cb4(std::bind_front(&Foo::bar, &foo)); I think std::bind_front() is the clear winner here.
