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

| | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | template< class Base, class Derived > struct is_virtual_base_of; | | (since C++26) |

std::is_virtual_base_of is a BinaryTypeTrait.

If Base is a virtual base class of Derived (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 (ignoring cv-qualification), Derived should be a complete type; otherwise the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_virtual_base_of or std::is_virtual_base_of_v, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Notes

std::is_virtual_base_of_v<A, B> is true even if A is a private, protected, or ambiguous base class of B.

If std::is_virtual_base_of_v<A, B> is true, then std::is_base_of_v<A, B> is also true. However, the converse is not always true because the check for virtual inheritance is more specific. In that case, std::is_virtual_base_of_v<T, T> is false even if T is a non-union class type.

[edit] Example

#include   class A {}; class B : A {}; class C : B {}; class D : virtual A {}; class E : D {};   union F {}; using I = int;   static_assert ( std::is_virtual_base_of_v<A, A> != true && std::is_virtual_base_of_v<A, B> != true && std::is_virtual_base_of_v<A, D> == true && std::is_virtual_base_of_v<D, E> != true && std::is_virtual_base_of_v<F, F> != true && std::is_virtual_base_of_v<I, I> != true );   int main() {}
