Syntax

template <classT> structremove_pointer; template <classT> usingremove_pointer_t = typename remove_pointer<T>::type;

Parameters

Remarks

An instance of remove_pointer<T> holds a modified-type that is T1 when T is of the form T1*, T1* const, T1* volatile, or T1* const volatile, otherwise T.

Example

#include<type_traits> #include<iostream>intmain() { int *p = (std::remove_pointer_t<int *> *)0; p = p; // to quiet "unused" warning std::cout << "remove_pointer_t<int *> == " << typeid(*p).name() << std::endl; return (0); }

remove_pointer_t<int *> == int
