Defined in header <type_traits>
template<class... B> struct disjunction;	(1)	(since C++17)

Forms the logical disjunction of the type traits B..., effectively performing a logical OR on the sequence of traits.

The specialization std::disjunction<B1, ..., BN> has a public and unambiguous base that is

• if sizeof...(B) == 0, std::false_type; otherwise
• the first type Bi in B1, ..., BN for which bool(Bi::value) == true, or BN if there is no such type.

The member names of the base class, other than disjunction and operator=, are not hidden and are unambiguously available in disjunction.

Disjunction is short-circuiting: if there is a template type argument Bi with bool(Bi::value) != false, then instantiating disjunction<B1, ..., BN>::value does not require the instantiation of Bj::value for j > i

Template parameters

B...

-

every template argument Bi for which Bi::value is instantiated must be usable as a base class and define member value that is convertible to bool

Helper variable template

template<class... B> inline constexpr bool disjunction_v = disjunction<B...>::value;		(since C++17)

Possible implementation

template<class...> struct disjunction : std::false_type { }; template<class B1> struct disjunction<B1> : B1 { }; template<class B1, class... Bn> struct disjunction<B1, Bn...> : std::conditional_t<bool(B1::value), B1, disjunction<Bn...>> { };

Notes

A specialization of disjunction does not necessarily inherit from of either std::true_type or std::false_type: it simply inherits from the first B whose ::value, explicitly converted to bool, is true, or from the very last B when all of them convert to false. For example, std::disjunction<std::integral_constant<int, 2>, std::integral_constant<int, 4>>::value is 2.

The short-circuit instantiation differentiates disjunction from fold expressions: a fold expression like (... || Bs::value) instantiates every B in Bs, while std::disjunction_v<Bs...> stops instantiation once the value can be determined. This is particularly useful if the later type is expensive to instantiate or can cause a hard error when instantiated with the wrong type.

Example

Run this code

#include <type_traits>
#include <string>
 
struct Foo {
   template<class T>
   Foo(T) { static_assert(!std::is_same_v<T, double>); } // Not SFINAE-friendly
};
 
template<class... Ts>
struct first_constructible {
    template<class T, class...Args>
    struct is_constructible_x : std::is_constructible<T, Args...> {
        using type = T;
    };
    struct fallback {
        static constexpr bool value = true;
        using type = void; // type to return if nothing is found
    };
 
    template<class... Args>
    using with = typename std::disjunction<is_constructible_x<Ts, Args...>...,
                                           fallback>::type;
};
 
static_assert(std::is_same_v<first_constructible<std::string, int, Foo>::with<double>,
                             int>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<first_constructible<std::string, int>::with<>, std::string>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<first_constructible<std::string, int>::with<const char*>,
                             std::string>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<first_constructible<std::string, int>::with<void*>, void>);
 
int main() { }
