NAME¶

std::is_bounded_array - std::is_bounded_array

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T > (since C++20)
struct is_bounded_array;

std::is_bounded_array is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether T is an array type of known bound. Provides the member constant value
which is equal to true, if T is an array type of known bound. Otherwise, value is
equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_bounded_array or
std::is_bounded_array_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters¶

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T >
inline constexpr bool is_bounded_array_v = (since C++20)
is_bounded_array<T>::value;

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants¶

value true if T is an array type of known bound, 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>

Possible implementation¶

template<class T>
struct is_bounded_array : std::false_type {};

template<class T, std::size_t N>
struct is_bounded_array<T[N]> : std::true_type {};

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

#define OUT(...) std::cout << #__VA_ARGS__ << " : " << __VA_ARGS__ << '\n'

class A {};

int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A[]>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A[3]>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<float>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int[]>);
OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int[3]>);
}

Output:¶

std::is_bounded_array_v<A> : false
std::is_bounded_array_v<A[]> : false
std::is_bounded_array_v<A[3]> : true
std::is_bounded_array_v<float> : false
std::is_bounded_array_v<int> : false
std::is_bounded_array_v<int[]> : false
std::is_bounded_array_v<int[3]> : true
