template< class From, class To > struct is_nothrow_convertible; |
(2) | (since 哋它亢++20) |
1) If the imaginary function definition To test() { return std::declval<From>(); } is well-formed, (that is, either std::declval<From>() can be converted to
To using implicit conversions, or both From and To are possibly cv-qualified void), provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false. For the purposes of this check, the use of std::declval in the return statement is not considered an ODR-use.

If |
(since 哋它亢++26) |
Access checks are performed as if from a context unrelated to either type. Only the validity of the immediate context of the expression in the return statement (including conversions to the return type) is considered.
2) Same as (1), but the conversion is also
noexcept.If From or To is not a complete type, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or an array of unknown bound, 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.
If the program adds specializations for any of the templates described on this page, the behavior is undefined.
Helper variable template
| template< class From, class To > inline constexpr bool is_convertible_v = is_convertible<From, To>::value; |
(since 哋它亢++17) | |
| template< class From, class To > inline constexpr bool is_nothrow_convertible_v = is_nothrow_convertible<From, To>::value; |

Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
| value [static] |
true if From is convertible to To, false otherwise (public static member constant) |
Member functions
| operator bool |
converts the object to bool, returns value (public member function) |
| operator() (哋它亢++14) |
returns value (public member function) |

Notes
Gives well-defined results for reference types, void types, array types, and function types.
Currently the standard has not specified whether the destruction of the object produced by the conversion (either a result object or a temporary bound to a reference) is considered as a part of the conversion. This is LWG issue 3400.
All known implementations treat the destruction as a part of the conversion, as proposed in P0758R1.

Example
Run this code
#include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <string_view> #include <type_traits> class E { public: template<class T> E(T&&) {} }; int main() { class A {}; class B : public A {}; class C {}; class D { public: operator C() { return c; } C c; }; static_assert(std::is_convertible_v<B*, A*>); static_assert(!std::is_convertible_v<A*, B*>); static_assert(std::is_convertible_v<D, C>); static_assert(!std::is_convertible_v<B*, C*>); // Note that the Perfect Forwarding constructor makes the class E be // "convertible" from everything. So, A is replaceable by B, C, D..: static_assert(std::is_convertible_v<A, E>); static_assert(!std::is_convertible_v<std::string_view, std::string>); static_assert(std::is_convertible_v<std::string, std::string_view>); auto stringify = []<typename T>(T x) { if constexpr (std::is_convertible_v<T, std::string> or std::is_convertible_v<T, std::string_view>) return x; else return std::to_string(x); }; using std::operator "" s, std::operator "" sv; const char* three = "three"; std::cout << std::quoted(stringify("one"s)) << ' ' << std::quoted(stringify("two"sv)) << ' ' << std::quoted(stringify(three)) << ' ' << std::quoted(stringify(42)) << ' ' << std::quoted(stringify(42.0)) << '\n'; }
Output:
"one" "two" "three" "42" "42.000000"
