remove_pointer Class

Makes type from pointer to type.

Syntax

template <class T>
struct remove_pointer;

template <class T>
using remove_pointer_t = typename remove_pointer<T>::type;

Parameters

T
The type to modify.

Remarks

An instance of remove_pointer<T> holds a modified-type that is T1 when T is of the form T1*, T1* const, T1* volatile, or T1* const volatile, otherwise T.

Example

#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>

int main()
    {
    int *p = (std::remove_pointer_t<int *> *)0;

    p = p;  // to quiet "unused" warning
    std::cout << "remove_pointer_t<int *> == "
        << typeid(*p).name() << std::endl;

    return (0);
    }

remove_pointer_t<int *> == int
