Type trait constants
 
Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T >
struct is_object;
(since C++11)

If T is an object type (that is, scalar, array, class, or union), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

Contents

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if T is an object 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_object : std::integral_constant<bool,
                     std::is_scalar<T>::value ||
                     std::is_array<T>::value  ||
                     std::is_union<T>::value  ||
                     std::is_class<T>::value> {};

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
int main() {
    class cls {};
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_object<int>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_object<int&>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_object<cls>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_object<cls&>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

true
false
true
false
