std::is_member_pointer

From Cppreference

Defined in header `<type_traits>`

template< class T > struct is_member_pointer;		(C++11 feature)

If T is pointer to non-static member object or a pointer to non-static member function, provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants


`value`	true if `T` is a member pointer 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] Equivalent definition

template< class T >
struct is_member_pointer_helper         : std::false_type {};
 
template< class T, class U >
struct is_member_pointer_helper<T U::*> : std::true_type {};
 
template< class T >
struct is_member_pointer : is_member_pointer_helper<typename std::remove_cv<T>::type> {};

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
int main() {
    class cls {};
    std::cout << (std::is_member_pointer<int(cls::*)>::value
                     ? "T is member pointer"
                     : "T is not a member pointer") << '\n';
    std::cout << (std::is_member_pointer<int>::value
                     ? "T is member pointer"
                     : "T is not a member pointer") << '\n';
}

Output:

T is member pointer
T is not a member pointer
