<type_traits>

Defines templates for compile-time constants that give information about the properties of their type arguments, or produce transformed types.

Syntax

#include <type_traits>

Remarks

The classes and templates in <type_traits> are used to support type inference, classification, and transformation at compile time. They are also used to detect type-related errors, and to help you optimize your generic code. Unary type traits describe a property of a type, binary type traits describe a relationship between types, and transformation traits modify a property of a type.

The helper class integral_constant and its template specializations true_type and false_type form the base classes for type predicates. A type predicate is a template that takes one or more type arguments. When a type predicate holds true, it's publicly derived, directly or indirectly, from true_type. When a type predicate holds false, it's publicly derived, directly or indirectly, from false_type.

A type modifier or transformation trait is a template that takes one or more template arguments and has one member, type, which is a synonym for the modified type.

Alias Templates

To simplify type traits expressions, alias templates for typename some_trait<T>::type are provided, where some_trait is the class template name. For example, add_const has an alias template for its type, add_const_t, defined as:

template <class T>
using add_const_t = typename add_const<T>::type;

These are the provided aliases for the type members:

add_const_t
add_cv_t
add_lvalue_reference_t
add_pointer_t
add_rvalue_reference_t
add_volatile_t
aligned_storage_t
aligned_union_t\

common_type_t
conditional_t
decay_t
enable_if_t
invoke_result_t
make_signed_t
make_unsigned_t
remove_all_extents_t\

remove_const_t
remove_cv_t
remove_extent_t
remove_pointer_t
remove_reference_t
remove_volatile_t
result_of_t
underlying_type_t\
