NAME

std::is_void - std::is_void

Synopsis

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

Checks whether T is a void type. Provides the member constant value that is equal to
true, if T is the type void, const void, volatile void, or const volatile void.
Otherwise, value is equal to false.

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for is_void
or is_void_v
(since C++17) is undefined.

Template parameters

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T > (since C++17)
inline constexpr bool is_void_v = is_void<T>::value;

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value true if T is the type void (possibly cv-qualified) , 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)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

Possible implementation

template< class T >
struct is_void : std::is_same<void, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type> {};

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << std::is_void<void>::value << '\n';
std::cout << std::is_void<int>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

true
false
