std::is_same
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <type_traits>
|
||
| template< class T, class U > struct is_same; |
(since C++11) | |
If T and U name the same type with the same const-volatile qualifications, provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false.
Helper variable template
| template< class T, class U > inline constexpr bool is_same_v = is_same<T, U>::value; |
(since C++17) | |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
| value [static] |
true if T and U is the same type , false otherwise (public static member constant) |
Member functions
| operator bool |
converts the object to bool, returns value (public member function) |
| operator() (C++14) |
returns value (public member function) |

Possible implementation

Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> #include <cstdint> void print_separator() { std::cout << "-----\n"; } int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::is_same<int, int32_t>::value << '\n'; // true std::cout << std::is_same<int, int64_t>::value << '\n'; // false std::cout << std::is_same<float, int32_t>::value << '\n'; // false print_separator(); std::cout << std::is_same<int, int>::value << "\n"; // true std::cout << std::is_same<int, unsigned int>::value << "\n"; // false std::cout << std::is_same<int, signed int>::value << "\n"; // true print_separator(); // unlike other types 'char' is not 'unsigned' and not 'signed' std::cout << std::is_same<char, char>::value << "\n"; // true std::cout << std::is_same<char, unsigned char>::value << "\n"; // false std::cout << std::is_same<char, signed char>::value << "\n"; // false }
Output:
true false false ----- true false true ----- true false false
