NAME¶

std::is_trivial - std::is_trivial

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T > (since C++11)
struct is_trivial;

std::is_trivial is a UnaryTypeTrait.

If T is a trivial type, provides the member constant value equal to true. For any
other type, value is false.

If std::remove_all_extents_t<T> is an incomplete type and not (possibly
cv-qualified) void, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_trivial or std::is_trivial_v, the
behavior is undefined.

Template parameters¶

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T > (since C++17)
inline constexpr bool is_trivial_v = is_trivial<T>::value;

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants¶

value true if T is a trivial type, false otherwise
[static] (public static member constant)

Member functions¶

operator bool converts the object to bool, returns value
(public member function)
operator() returns value
(C++14) (public member function)

Member types¶

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <type_traits>

struct A { int m; };
static_assert(std::is_trivial_v<A> == true);

struct B { B() {} };
static_assert(std::is_trivial_v<B> == false);

int main() {}
