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

Checks whether T is a void type. Provides the member constant value that is equal to true, if T is the type void, const void, volatile void, or const volatile void. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

T - a type to check

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if T is the type void (possibly cv-qualified) , 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_void : std::integral_constant<
                     bool,
                     std::is_same<void, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
                  > {};

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_void<void>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_void<int>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

true
false
