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

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

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());
}
