remove_extent Class

Makes element type from array type.

Syntax

template <class T>
struct remove_extent;

template <class T>
using remove_extent_t = typename remove_extent<T>::type;

Parameters

T
The type to modify.

Remarks

An instance of remove_extent<T> holds a modified-type that is T1 when T is of the form T1[N], otherwise T.

Example

#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>

int main()
    {
    std::cout << "remove_extent_t<int> == "
        << typeid(std::remove_extent_t<int>).name()
        << std::endl;T
    std::cout << "remove_extent_t<int[5]> == "
        << typeid(std::remove_extent_t<int[5]>).name()
        << std::endl;T
    std::cout << "remove_extent_t<int[5][10]> == "
        << typeid(std::remove_extent_t<int[5][10]>).name()
        << std::endl;
    return (0);
    }

remove_extent_t<int> == int
remove_extent_t<int[5]> == int
remove_extent_t<int[5][10]> == int [10]
