C++ provides metaprogramming facilities, such as type traits, compile-time rational arithmetic, and compile-time integer sequences.

Contents

Type traits

Type traits define compile-time template-based interfaces to query the properties of types.

Attempting to specialize a template defined in the <type_traits> header and listed in this page results in undefined behavior, except that std::common_type and std::basic_common_reference(since C++20) may be specialized as required in description.

A template defined in the <type_traits> header may be instantiated with an incomplete type unless otherwise specified, notwithstanding the general prohibition against instantiating standard library templates with incomplete types.

Base classes

Most of non-transforming type traits need to be publicly and unambiguously derived from std::integeral_constant in order to satisfy the requirements of UnaryTypeTrait or BinaryTypeTrait.

Defined in header <type_traits>
(C++11)(C++17)
 compile-time constant of specified type with specified value
(class template) [edit]

Two specializations of std::integral_constant for the type bool are provided:

Defined in header <type_traits>
Type Definition
true_type std::integral_constant<bool, true>
false_type std::integral_constant<bool, false>

Unary type traits

Unary type traits can be used to query the boolean properties of a type at compile time.

All these type traits satisfy UnaryTypeTrait, the base characteristic of each type trait is either std::true_type or std::false_type, depending on whether the corresponding condition is met.

Property queries

Property query traits can be used to query the integral properties of a type at compile time.

All these type traits satisfy UnaryTypeTrait, the base characteristic of each type trait is std::integral_constant<size_t, Value>, where Value is the query result of the corresponding property.

Defined in header <type_traits>
(C++11)
 obtains the type's alignment requirements
(class template) [edit]
(C++11)
 obtains the number of dimensions of an array type
(class template) [edit]
(C++11)
 obtains the size of an array type along a specified dimension
(class template) [edit]

Type relationships

Type relationship traits can be used to query relationships between types at compile time.

All these type traits satisfy BinaryTypeTrait, the base characteristic of each type trait is either std::true_type or std::false_type, depending on whether the corresponding condition is met.
