Selecting a member function using different enable_if conditions

A simple solution is to use delegation to worker private functions:

template<typename T>
struct Point
{

  void MyFunction()
  {
     worker(static_cast<T*>(nullptr)); //pass null argument of type T*
  }

private:

  void worker(int*)
  {
    std::cout << "T is int." << std::endl;
  }

  template<typename U>
  void worker(U*)
  {
    std::cout << "T is not int." << std::endl;
  }
};

When T is int, the first worker function will be called, because static_cast<T*>(0) turns out to be of type int*. In all other cases, the template version of worker will be called.


enable_if works because the substitution of a template argument resulted in an error, and so that substitution is dropped from the overload resolution set and only other viable overloads are considered by the compiler.

In your example, there is no substitution occurring when instantiating the member functions because the template argument T is already known at that time. The simplest way to achieve what you're attempting is to create a dummy template argument that is defaulted to T and use that to perform SFINAE.

template<typename T>
struct Point
{
  template<typename U = T>
  typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<U, int>::value>::type
    MyFunction()
  {
    std::cout << "T is int." << std::endl;
  }

  template<typename U = T>
  typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<U, float>::value>::type
    MyFunction()
  {
    std::cout << "T is not int." << std::endl;
  }
};

Edit:

As HostileFork mentions in the comments, the original example leaves the possibility of the user explicitly specifying template arguments for the member functions and getting an incorrect result. The following should prevent explicit specializations of the member functions from compiling.

template<typename T>
struct Point
{
  template<typename... Dummy, typename U = T>
  typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<U, int>::value>::type
    MyFunction()
  {
    static_assert(sizeof...(Dummy)==0, "Do not specify template arguments!");
    std::cout << "T is int." << std::endl;
  }

  template<typename... Dummy, typename U = T>
  typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<U, float>::value>::type
    MyFunction()
  {
    static_assert(sizeof...(Dummy)==0, "Do not specify template arguments!");
    std::cout << "T is not int." << std::endl;
  }
};
