std::is_fundamental

Defined in header `<type_traits>`
template< class T > struct is_fundamental;		(since C++11)

If T is a fundamental type (that is, arithmetic type, void, or nullptr_t), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

true if T is a fundamental type , false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool

converts the object to bool, returns value
(public member function)

Member types

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

[edit] Possible implementation

template< class T>
struct is_fundamental
  : std::integral_constant<
        bool,
        std::is_arithmetic<T>::value ||
        std::is_void<T>::value  ||
        std::is_same<std::nullptr_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
> {};

[edit] Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
class A {};
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<A>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<int>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<int&>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<int*>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<float>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<float&>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_fundamental<float*>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

false
true
false
false
true
false
false
