std::void_t(3) C++ Standard Libary std::void_t(3) NAME std::void_t - std::void_t Synopsis Defined in header <type_traits> template< class... > (since C++17) using void_t = void; Utility metafunction that maps a sequence of any types to the type void. This metafunction is a convenient way to leverage SFINAE prior to C++20's concepts, in particular for conditionally removing functions from the candidate set based on whether an expression is valid in the unevaluated context (such as operand to decltype expression), allowing to exist separate function overloads or specializations, based on supported operations. Notes This metafunction is used in template metaprogramming to detect ill- formed types in SFINAE context: // primary template handles types that have no nested ::type member: template< class, class = void > struct has_type_member : std::false_type { }; // specialization recognizes types that do have a nested ::type mem- ber: template< class T > struct has_type_member<T, std::void_t<typename T::type>> : std::true_type { }; It can also be used to detect validity of an expression: // primary template handles types that do not support pre-increment: template< class, class = void > struct has_pre_increment_member : std::false_type { }; // specialization recognizes types that do support pre-increment: template< class T > struct has_pre_increment_member<T, std::void_t<decltype( ++std::declval<T&>() )> > : std::true_type { }; Until the resolution of CWG issue 1558 (a C++11 defect), unused pa- rameters in alias templates were not guaranteed to ensure SFINAE and could be ignored, so earlier compilers require a more complex definition of void_t, such as template<typename... Ts> struct make_void { typedef void type;}; template<typename... Ts> using void_t = typename make_void<Ts...>::type; Feature-test macro: __cpp_lib_void_t Example // Run this code #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <map> #include <type_traits> #include <vector> // Variable template that checks if a type has begin() and end() mem- ber functions template <typename, typename = void> constexpr bool is_iterable{}; template <typename T> constexpr bool is_iterable< T, std::void_t< decltype(std::declval<T>().begin()), decltype(std::declval<T>().end()) > > = true; // An iterator trait those value_type is the value_type of the iter- ated container, // supports even back_insert_iterator (where value_type is void) template <typename T, typename = void> struct iterator_trait : std::iterator_traits<T> {}; template <typename T> struct iterator_trait<T, std::void_t<typename T::container_type>> : std::iterator_traits<typename T::container_type::iterator> {}; class A {}; #define SHOW(...) std::cout << std::setw(34) << #__VA_ARGS__ << " = " << __VA_ARGS__ << '\n' int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha << std::left; SHOW(is_iterable<std::vector<double>>); SHOW(is_iterable<std::map<int, double>>); SHOW(is_iterable<double>); SHOW(is_iterable<A>); using container_t = std::vector<int>; container_t v; static_assert(std::is_same_v< container_t::value_type, iterator_trait<decltype(std::begin(v))>::value_type >); static_assert(std::is_same_v< container_t::value_type, iterator_trait<decltype(std::back_inserter(v))>::value_type >); } Output: is_iterable<std::vector<double>> = true is_iterable<std::map<int, double>> = true is_iterable<double> = false is_iterable<A> = false See also enable_if conditionally removes a function overload or template spe- cialization from (C++11) overload resolution (class template) http://cppreference.com 2022.07.31 std::void_t(3)
