`std::enable_if` is function pointer - how? - c++

Question

I want to use SFINAE to enable a particular template if the user passes a function pointer as a parameter.
I have googled around but found nothing - I also tried looking at the <type_traits> documentation but couldn't find anything that resembled a is_function_ptr<T>.
By function pointer, I mean global function pointers, like TReturn(*)(TArgs...).

Below is a type trait determining if something is a function pointer and a couple of test cases. Note, that to test if something is a function pointer, you need to test if std::is_pointer<P>::value is true and if std::is_function<T>::value is true where T is P with the pointer removed. The code below just does that:
#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
template <typename Fun>
struct is_fun_ptr
: std::integral_constant<bool, std::is_pointer<Fun>::value
&& std::is_function<
typename std::remove_pointer<Fun>::type
>::value>
{
};
template <typename Fun>
typename std::enable_if<is_fun_ptr<Fun>::value>::type
test(Fun) {
std::cout << "is a function pointer\n";
}
template <typename Fun>
typename std::enable_if<!is_fun_ptr<Fun>::value>::type
test(Fun) {
std::cout << "is not a function pointer\n";
}
void f0() {}
void f1(int) {}
void f2(int, double) {}
struct s0 { void operator()() {} };
struct s1 { void operator()(int) {} };
struct s2 { void operator()(int, double) {} };
int main()
{
int v0(0);
int* p0(&v0);
void (*p1)() = &f0;
void (**p2)() = &p1;
std::cout << "v0="; test(v0);
std::cout << "p0="; test(p0);
std::cout << "p1="; test(p1);
std::cout << "p2="; test(p2);
std::cout << "f0="; test(&f0);
std::cout << "f1="; test(&f1);
std::cout << "f2="; test(&f2);
std::cout << "s0="; test(s0());
std::cout << "s1="; test(s1());
std::cout << "s2="; test(s2());
std::cout << "l0="; test([](){});
std::cout << "l1="; test([](int){});
std::cout << "l2="; test([](int, double){});
}

No SFINAE is needed to accept a function pointer or a member function pointer. To distinguish function objects from non-callable stuff SFINAE is needed, there's probably no way around this.
#include <utility>
#include <iostream>
template <typename Ret, typename... Parm>
void moo (Ret (*fp)(Parm...))
{
std::cout << "funptr" << std::endl;
}
template <typename Ret, typename Owner, typename... Parm>
void moo (Ret (Owner::*fp1)(Parm...))
{
std::cout << "memfunptr" << std::endl;
}
template <typename Funobj, typename... Parm,
typename Ret =
decltype((std::declval<Funobj>())
(std::forward(std::declval<Parm>())...))>
void moo (Funobj functor)
{
std::cout << "funobj" << std::endl;
}
void x1() {}
struct X2 { void x2() {} };
struct X3 { void operator()(){} };
int main()
{
moo(x1);
moo(&X2::x2);
moo(X3());
}
