is_pointer Class
The latest version of this topic can be found at is_pointer Class.
Tests if type is a pointer.
Syntax
template <class Ty>
struct is_pointer;
Parameters
Ty
The type to query.
Remarks
An instance of the type predicate holds true if the type Ty is a pointer to void, a pointer to an object, or a pointer to a function, or a cv-qualified form of one of them, otherwise it holds false. Note that is_pointer holds false if Ty is a pointer to member or a pointer to member function.
Example
// std_tr1__type_traits__is_pointer.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>
struct trivial
{
int val;
};
int main()
{
std::cout << "is_pointer<trivial> == " << std::boolalpha
<< std::is_pointer<trivial>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << "is_pointer<int trivial::*> == " << std::boolalpha
<< std::is_pointer<int trivial::*>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << "is_pointer<trivial *> == " << std::boolalpha
<< std::is_pointer<trivial *>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << "is_pointer<int> == " << std::boolalpha
<< std::is_pointer<int>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << "is_pointer<int *> == " << std::boolalpha
<< std::is_pointer<int *>::value << std::endl;
return (0);
}
is_pointer<trivial> == false
is_pointer<int trivial::*> == false
is_pointer<trivial *> == true
is_pointer<int> == false
is_pointer<int *> == true
