template< class T >

 Type trait  The value of the member constant value
T is a referenceable type  T is not a referenceable type 
(1) std::is_constructible<T, T&&>::value false
(2) std::is_trivially_constructible<T, T&&>::value
(3) std::is_nothrow_constructible<T, T&&>::value

If T 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 templates

template< class T >

inline constexpr bool is_move_constructible_v =

    is_move_constructible<T>::value;

template< class T >

inline constexpr bool is_nothrow_move_constructible_v =

    is_nothrow_move_constructible<T>::value;

Possible implementation

template<class T>
struct is_move_constructible :
    std::is_constructible<T, typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};
 
template<class T>
struct is_trivially_move_constructible :
    std::is_trivially_constructible<T, typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};
 
template<class T>
struct is_nothrow_move_constructible :
    std::is_nothrow_constructible<T, typename std::add_rvalue_reference<T>::type> {};

Notes

Types without a move constructor, but with a copy constructor that accepts const T& arguments, satisfy std::is_move_constructible.

Move constructors are usually noexcept, since otherwise they are unusable in any code that provides strong exception guarantee.

In many implementations, std::is_nothrow_move_constructible also checks if the destructor throws because it is effectively noexcept(T(arg)). Same applies to std::is_trivially_move_constructible, which, in these implementations, also requires that the destructor is trivial: GCC bug 51452, LWG issue 2116.

Example

#include <string>
#include <type_traits>
 
struct Ex1
{
    std::string str; // member has a non-trivial but non-throwing move constructor
};
static_assert(std::is_move_constructible_v<Ex1>);
static_assert(!std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<Ex1>);
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<Ex1>);
 
struct Ex2
{
    int n;
    Ex2(Ex2&&) = default; // trivial and non-throwing
};
static_assert(std::is_move_constructible_v<Ex2>);
static_assert(std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<Ex2>);
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<Ex2>);
 
struct NoMove1
{
    // prevents implicit declaration of default move constructor;
    // however, the class is still move-constructible because its
    // copy constructor can bind to an rvalue argument
    NoMove1(const NoMove1&) {}
};
static_assert(std::is_move_constructible_v<NoMove1>);
static_assert(!std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<NoMove1>);
static_assert(!std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<NoMove1>);
 
struct NoMove2
{
    // Not move-constructible since the lvalue reference
    // can't bind to the rvalue argument
    NoMove2(NoMove2&) {}
};
static_assert(!std::is_move_constructible_v<NoMove2>);
static_assert(!std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<NoMove2>);
static_assert(!std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<NoMove2>);
