template <class T> struct is_trivially_copy_constructible;
Is trivially copy constructible

Trait class that identifies whether T is a trivially copy constructible type.

A trivially copy constructible type is a type which can be trivially constructed from a value or reference of the same type. This includes scalar types, trivially copy constructible classes and arrays of such types.

A trivially copy constructible class is a class (defined with class, struct or union) that:
  • uses the implicitly defined copy constructor.
  • has no virtual members.
  • its base class and non-static data members (if any) are themselves also trivially copy constructible types.

The is_trivially_copy_constructible class inherits from integral_constant as being either true_type or false_type, depending on whether T is default constructible.

Template parameters

T
A complete type, or void (possible cv-qualified), or an array of unknown bound.

// is_trivially_copy_constructible example
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

struct A { };
struct B { B(const B&){} };
struct C { virtual void fn() {} };

int main() {
  std::cout << std::boolalpha;
  std::cout << "is_trivially_copy_constructible:" << std::endl;
  std::cout << "int: " << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<int>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "A: " << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<A>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "B: " << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<B>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "C: " << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<C>::value << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:
is_trivially_copy_constructible:
int: true
A: true
B: false
C: false
