is_pointer Class

Tests if type is a pointer.

Syntax

template <classTy> structis_pointer;

Parameters

Ty
The type to query.

Remarks

An instance of the type predicate holds true if the type Ty is a pointer to void, a pointer to an object, or a pointer to a function, or a cv-qualified form of one of them, otherwise it holds false. Note that is_pointer holds false if Ty is a pointer to member or a pointer to member function.

Example

// std__type_traits__is_pointer.cpp// compile with: /EHsc #include<type_traits> #include<iostream>structtrivial { int val; }; intmain() { std::cout << "is_pointer<trivial> == " << std::boolalpha << std::is_pointer<trivial>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "is_pointer<int trivial::*> == " << std::boolalpha << std::is_pointer<int trivial::*>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "is_pointer<trivial *> == " << std::boolalpha << std::is_pointer<trivial *>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "is_pointer<int> == " << std::boolalpha << std::is_pointer<int>::value << std::endl; std::cout << "is_pointer<int *> == " << std::boolalpha << std::is_pointer<int *>::value << std::endl; return (0); }
