Auto variable to store function pointer to std::max

Question

I\'m trying to pass function std::max as template parameter to a templated function, but for some reasons compiler prints error that function type cannot be ded

Answer 1

std::max has more than one template overloads; you can use static_cast to specify which one should be used.

static_cast may also be used to disambiguate function overloads by performing a function-to-pointer conversion to specific type

e.g.

auto f = static_cast(std::max);
