Defined in header <type_traits>
template<class T >
struct remove_extent;
(since C++11)

If T is an array of some type X, provides the member typedef type equal to X, otherwise type is T. Note that if T is a multidimensional array, only the first dimension is removed.

If the program adds specializations for std::remove_extent, the behavior is undefined.

[edit]Helper types

template<class T >
using remove_extent_t =typename remove_extent<T>::type;
(since C++14)

[edit]Possible implementation

template<class T>struct remove_extent {using type = T;};   template<class T>struct remove_extent<T[]>{using type = T;};   template<class T, std::size_t N>struct remove_extent<T[N]>{using type = T;};

[edit]Example

#include <algorithm>#include <iostream>#include <iterator>#include <type_traits>   template<class A>std::enable_if_t<std::rank_v<A>==1> print_1d(const A& a){std::copy(a, a +std::extent_v<A>, std::ostream_iterator<std::remove_extent_t<A>>(std::cout, " "));std::cout<<'\n';}   int main(){int a[][3]={{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}};// print_1d(a); // compile-time error print_1d(a[1]);}

Output:

4 5 6
