template< class T > struct is_pointer; | (since C++11) |
Checks whether T is a pointer to object or a pointer to function (but not a pointer to member/member function). Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is a object/function pointer type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.
Template parameters
| T | - | a type to check |
Helper variable template
template< class T > constexpr bool is_pointer_v = is_pointer<T>::value; | (since C++17) |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
| value [static] | true if T is a pointer type , false otherwise (public static member constant) |
Member functions
| operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns value (public member function) |
| operator() (C++14) | returns value (public member function) |
Member types
| Type | Definition |
|---|---|
value_type | bool |
type | std::integral_constant<bool, value> |
Possible implementation
template< class T > struct is_pointer_helper : std::false_type {};
template< class T > struct is_pointer_helper<T*> : std::true_type {};
template< class T > struct is_pointer : is_pointer_helper<typename std::remove_cv<T>::type> {}; |
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
class A {};
int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << std::is_pointer<A>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<A *>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<A &>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<int>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<int *>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<int **>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<int[10]>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_pointer<std::nullptr_t>::value << '\n';
}Output:
false true false false true true false false
