std::is_trivially_copyable
Defined in header <type_traits> | ||
template<class T > struct is_trivially_copyable; | (since C++11) | |
std::is_trivially_copyable
is a UnaryTypeTrait.
If T
is a trivially copyable type, provides the member constant value
equal to true. For any other type, value
is false.
If std::remove_all_extents_t<T> is an incomplete type and not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the behavior is undefined.
If the program adds specializations for std::is_trivially_copyable
or std::is_trivially_copyable_v
, the behavior is undefined.

[edit]Notes
Objects of trivially-copyable types that are not potentially-overlapping subobjects are the only C++ objects that may be safely copied with std::memcpy or serialized to/from binary files with std::ofstream::write() / std::ifstream::read().
[edit]Example
#include <type_traits> struct A {int m;}; static_assert(std::is_trivially_copyable_v<A>==true); struct B { B(B const&){}}; static_assert(std::is_trivially_copyable_v<B>==false); struct C {virtualvoid foo();}; static_assert(std::is_trivially_copyable_v<C>==false); struct D {int m; D(D const&)=default;// -> trivially copyable D(int x): m(x +1){}}; static_assert(std::is_trivially_copyable_v<D>==true); int main(){}
