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

| | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | template< class Base, class Derived > struct is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of; | | (since C++20) |

If Derived is unambiguously derived from Base and every Derived object is pointer-interconvertible with its Base subobject, or if both are the same non-union class (in both cases ignoring cv-qualification), provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false.

If both Base and Derived are non-union class types, and they are not the same type (ignoring cv-qualification), Derived shall be a complete type; otherwise the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of or std::is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of_v, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Notes

std::is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of_v<T, U> may be true even if T is a private or protected base class of U.

Let

reinterpret_cast<T&>(u) always has well-defined result if std::is_pointer_interconvertible_base_of_v<T, U> is true.

If T and U are not the same type (ignoring cv-qualification) and T is a pointer-interconvertible base class of U, then both std::is_standard_layout_v<T> and std::is_standard_layout_v<U> are true.

If T is standard layout class type, then all base classes of T (if any) are pointer-interconvertible base class of T.
