Issue in passing argument to std::function for vector of functions - c++11

Question

I'm trying to create a vector of std::function and then pass that vector to a function. I also need to pass arguments to the function objects, so I'm using std::bind. Here is the code:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
void execute(vector<function<void (int)>>& fs) {
for (auto& f : fs)
f();
}
void func(int k) {
cout << "In func " << k << endl;
}
int main()
{
int i = 1;
vector<function<void (int)>> x;
auto f1 = bind(func, i);
//f1(); // this does call intended function
x.push_back(f1);
execute(x);
}
but this gives following error:
function_tmpl.cpp: In function ‘void execute(std::vector >&)’:
function_tmpl.cpp:14:5: error: no match for call to ‘(std::function) ()’
f();
^
In file included from function_tmpl.cpp:1:0:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/include/c++/functional:2142:11: note: candidate is:

function::
^
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/include/c++/functional:2434:5: note: candidate expects 1 argument, 0 provided
If I call f() inside main(), that works fine, which means that the function has bound with the arguments, but it's not working when passed to another function as argument

Answer 1

You are using a vector of void functions with a single int argument: vector<function<void (int)>>, but you are actually pushing void(void) functions. All you need to do is to change the element type of the vector to vector<function<void (void)>>. Bind works roughly like this:
given:
void f1(int i) { printf("%d", i); }
bind(f1, 1) returns a new function f2:
void f2()
{
f1(1);
}
and since you are pushing f2, the vector should store void(void) functions.

Answer 2

After binding, the type of function has become to void(). So change the type of vector to vector<function<void ()>>, you'll get it.
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
void execute(vector<function<void ()>>& fs) {
for (auto& f : fs)
f();
}
void func(int k) {
cout << "In func " << k << endl;
}
int main()
{
int i = 1;
vector<function<void ()>> x;
auto f1 = bind(func, i);
x.push_back(f1);
execute(x);
}
result:
In func 1

Answer 3

The return type of std::bind is unspecified. Hence you cannot expect std::bind to return a variable of same type as std::function<void(int)>. Use decltype and templates to resolve.
Here is an example
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
template <typename T>
void execute(vector<T>& fs) {
for (auto& f : fs)
f();
}
void func(int k) {
cout << "In func " << k << endl;
}
int main()
{
int i = 1;
auto f1 = bind(func, i);
vector<decltype(f1)> x; //deduce type of f1
x.push_back(f1);
execute(x);
}

Answer 4

f is of type
function<void (int)>&
so the compiler expects you to provide a parameter, like this:
f(1)
