std::is_pointer
From cppreference.com
Defined in header <type_traits>
|
||
template< class T > struct is_pointer; |
(since C++11) | |
Checks whether T
is a pointer to object or a pointer to function (but not a pointer to member/member function). Provides the member constant value
which is equal to true, if T
is a object/function pointer type. Otherwise, value
is equal to false.
Template parameters
T | - | a type to check |
Helper variable template
template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_pointer_v = is_pointer<T>::value; |
(since C++17) | |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
value [static] |
true if T is a pointer type , false otherwise (public static member constant) |
Member functions
operator bool |
converts the object to bool, returns value (public member function) |
operator() (C++14) |
returns value (public member function) |

Possible implementation
template< class T > struct is_pointer_helper : std::false_type {}; template< class T > struct is_pointer_helper<T*> : std::true_type {}; template< class T > struct is_pointer : is_pointer_helper<typename std::remove_cv<T>::type> {}; |
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> class A {}; int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::is_pointer<A>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<A *>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<A &>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<int>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<int *>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<int **>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<int[10]>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_pointer<std::nullptr_t>::value << '\n'; }
Output:
false true false false true true false false
