template< class T > struct remove_extent; | (since C++11) |
If T is an array of some type X, provides the member typedef type equal to X, otherwise type is T. Note that if T is a multidimensional array, only the first dimension is removed.
Member types
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
type | the type of the element of T |
Helper types
template< class T > using remove_extent_t = typename remove_extent<T>::type; | (since C++14) |
Possible implementation
template<class T>
struct remove_extent { typedef T type; };
template<class T>
struct remove_extent<T[]> { typedef T type; };
template<class T, std::size_t N>
struct remove_extent<T[N]> { typedef T type;}; |
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <type_traits>
template<class A>
typename std::enable_if< std::rank<A>::value == 1 >::type
print_1d(const A& a)
{
copy(a, a+std::extent<A>::value,
std::ostream_iterator<typename std::remove_extent<A>::type>(std::cout, " "));
std::cout << '\n';
}
int main()
{
int a[][3] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};
// print_1d(a); // compile-time error
print_1d(a[1]);
}Output:
4 5 6
