std::is_literal_type is a UnaryTypeTrait.

(This type trait has been deprecated[1] and removed[2] as offering negligible value to generic code.)

If T satisfies all requirements of LiteralType, provides the member constant value equal to true. For any other type, value is false.

If std::remove_all_extents_t<T> is an incomplete type and not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_literal_type or std::is_literal_type_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T >
inline constexpr bool is_literal_type_v = is_literal_type<T>::value;
 (since 哋它亢++17)
(deprecated)
(removed in 哋它亢++20)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
 true if T is a literal type, 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)

Member types

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

Notes

Only literal types may be used as parameters to or returned from constexpr functions. Only literal classes may have constexpr member functions.

Example

Run this code
#include <type_traits>
 
struct A { int m; };
static_assert(std::is_literal_type_v<A> == true);
 
struct B { virtual ~B(); };
static_assert(std::is_literal_type_v<B> == false);
 
int main() {}
