is_pointer Class

Tests if type is a pointer.

template<class Ty>
    struct is_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_tr1__type_traits__is_pointer.cpp 
// compile with: /EHsc 
#include <type_traits> 
#include <iostream> 
 
struct trivial 
    { 
    int val; 
    }; 
 
int main() 
    { 
    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); 
    } 
 

is_pointer<trivial> == false
is_pointer<int trivial::*> == false
is_pointer<trivial *> == true
is_pointer<int> == false
is_pointer<int *> == true
