NAME

std::is_move_assignable,std::is_trivially_move_assignable, - std::is_move_assignable,std::is_trivially_move_assignable,

Synopsis

Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T > (1) (since C++11)
struct is_move_assignable;
template< class T > (2) (since C++11)
struct is_trivially_move_assignable;
template< class T > (3) (since C++11)
struct is_nothrow_move_assignable;

1) If T is not a referenceable type (i.e., possibly cv-qualified void or a function
type with a cv-qualifier-seq or a ref-qualifier), provides a member constant value
equal to false. Otherwise, provides a member constant value equal to
std::is_assignable<T&, T&&>::value.
2) Same as (1), but uses std::is_trivially_assignable<T&, T&&>
3) Same as (1), but uses std::is_nothrow_assignable<T&, T&&>

T shall be a complete type, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or an array of unknown
bound. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

If an instantiation of a template above depends, directly or indirectly, on an
incomplete type, and that instantiation could yield a different result if that type
were hypothetically completed, the behavior is undefined.

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for any of the templates
described on this page is undefined.

Helper variable templates

template< class T >
inline constexpr bool is_move_assignable_v = (since C++17)
is_move_assignable<T>::value;
template< class T >
inline constexpr bool is_trivially_move_assignable_v = (since C++17)
is_trivially_move_assignable<T>::value;
template< class T >
inline constexpr bool is_nothrow_move_assignable_v = (since C++17)
is_nothrow_move_assignable<T>::value;

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value true if T is move-assignable, false otherwise
[static] (public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool converts the object to bool, returns value
(public member function)
operator() returns value
(C++14) (public member function)

Possible implementation

template< class T>
struct is_move_assignable
: std::is_assignable< typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};

template< class T>
struct is_trivially_move_assignable
: std::is_trivially_assignable< typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};

template< class T>
struct is_nothrow_move_assignable
: std::is_nothrow_assignable< typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};

Notes

The trait std::is_move_assignable is less strict than MoveAssignable because it does
not check the type of the result of the assignment (which, for a MoveAssignable
type, must be T&), nor the semantic requirement that the target's value after the
assignment is equivalent to the source's value before the assignment.

The type does not have to implement a move assignment operator in order to satisfy
this trait; see MoveAssignable for details.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <type_traits>
struct Foo { int n; };
struct NoMove {
// prevents implicit declaration of default move assignment operator
// however, the class is still move-assignable because its
// copy assignment operator can bind to an rvalue argument
NoMove& operator=(const NoMove&) { return *this; }
};
int main() {
std::cout << std::boolalpha
<< "std::string is nothrow move-assignable? "
<< std::is_nothrow_move_assignable<std::string>::value << '\n'
<< "int[2] is move-assignable? "
<< std::is_move_assignable<int[2]>::value << '\n'
<< "Foo is trivally move-assignable? "
<< std::is_trivially_move_assignable<Foo>::value << '\n';

std::cout << std::boolalpha
<< "NoMove is move-assignable? "
<< std::is_move_assignable<NoMove>::value << '\n'
<< "NoMove is nothrow move-assignable? "
<< std::is_nothrow_move_assignable<NoMove>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

std::string is nothrow move-assignable? true
int[2] is move-assignable? false
Foo is trivially move-assignable? true
NoMove is move-assignable? true
NoMove is nothrow move-assignable? false
