#
Subclause [func.bind] describes a uniform mechanism for binding arguments of callable objects.

22.10.15.2 Class template is_bind_expression [func.bind.isbind]

namespace std { template<class T> struct is_bind_expression; / see below }

#
The class template is_bind_expression can be used to detect function objects generated by bind.
The function template bind uses is_bind_expression to detect subexpressions.
Specializations of the is_bind_expression template shall meet the Cpp17UnaryTypeTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]).
The implementation provides a definition that has a base characteristic of true_type if T is a type returned from bind, otherwise it has a base characteristic of false_type.
A program may specialize this template for a program-defined type T to have a base characteristic of true_type to indicate that T should be treated as a subexpression in a bind call.

22.10.15.3 Class template is_placeholder [func.bind.isplace]

namespace std { template<class T> struct is_placeholder; / see below }
The class template is_placeholder can be used to detect the standard placeholders _1, _2, and so on ([func.bind.place]).
The function template bind uses is_placeholder to detect placeholders.
Specializations of the is_placeholder template shall meet the Cpp17UnaryTypeTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]).
The implementation provides a definition that has the base characteristic of integral_constant<int, J> if T is the type of std​::​placeholders​::​_J, otherwise it has a base characteristic of integral_constant<int, 0>.
A program may specialize this template for a program-defined type T to have a base characteristic of integral_constant<int, N> with N > 0 to indicate that T should be treated as a placeholder type.

22.10.15.4 Function template bind [func.bind.bind]

In the text that follows:
  • g is a value of the result of a bind invocation,
  • FD is the type decay_t<F>,
  • fd is an lvalue that is a target object of g ([func.def]) of type FD direct-non-list-initialized with std​::​forward<F>(f),
template<class F, class. BoundArgs> constexpr unspecified bind(F&& f, BoundArgs&&. bound_args); template<class R, class F, class. BoundArgs> constexpr unspecified bind(F&& f, BoundArgs&&. bound_args);
Mandates: is_constructible_v<FD, F> is true.
For each
Preconditions: FD and each
INVOKE(fd,
Returns: An argument forwarding call wrapper g ([func.require]).
A program that attempts to invoke a volatile-qualified g is ill-formed.
When g is not volatile-qualified, invocation of g(
Throws: Any exception thrown by the initialization of the state entities of g.

The values of the bound arguments
The value of the target argument
namespace std::placeholders { / M is the number of placeholders see below _1; see below _2; ⋮ see below _M; }
The number M of placeholders is implementation-defined.
All placeholder types meet the Cpp17DefaultConstructible and Cpp17CopyConstructible requirements, and their default constructors and copy/move constructors are constexpr functions that do not throw exceptions.
It is implementation-defined whether placeholder types meet the Cpp17CopyAssignable requirements, but if so, their copy assignment operators are constexpr functions that do not throw exceptions.
Placeholders should be defined as: inline constexpr unspecified _1{};
If they are not, they are declared as: extern unspecified _1;
Placeholders are freestanding items ([freestanding.item]).
