std::reference_wrapper<T>::reference_wrapper

(1)
template< class U >
reference_wrapper( U&& x ) noexcept(/*see below*/) ;
(until C++20)
template< class U >
constexpr reference_wrapper( U&& x ) noexcept(/*see below*/) ;
(since C++20)
(2)
reference_wrapper( const reference_wrapper& other ) noexcept;
(until C++20)
constexpr reference_wrapper( const reference_wrapper& other ) noexcept;
(since C++20)

Constructs a new reference wrapper.

1) Converts x to T& as if by T& t = std::forward<U>(x);, then stores a reference to t. This overload participates in overload resolution only if typename std::decay<U>::type is not the same type as reference_wrapper and the expression FUN(std::declval<U>()) is well-formed, where FUN names the set of imaginary functions
void FUN(T&) noexcept;
void FUN(T&&) = delete;
2) Copy constructor. Stores a reference to other.get().

Parameters

x - an object to wrap
other - another reference wrapper

Exceptions

1)
noexcept specification:
noexcept(noexcept(FUN(std::declval<U>())))
where FUN is the set of imaginary functions described in the description above.
