std::is_pointer - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | ---------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | template< class T > struct is_pointer; | | (since C++11) |

std::is_pointer is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether T is a pointer to object or function (including pointer to void, but excluding pointer to member) or a cv-qualified version thereof. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an object/function pointer type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_pointer or std::is_pointer_v, the behavior is undefined.
