is_view

Description

Metafunction that evaluates to mpl::true_ if a certain type T is a conforming Fusion View, mpl::false_ otherwise. A view is a specialized sequence that does not actually contain data. Views hold sequences which may be other views. In general, views are held by other views by value, while non-views are held by other views by reference. is_view may be specialized to accomodate clients providing Fusion conforming views.

Synopsis
namespace traits
{
    template <typename T>
    struct is_view
    {
        typedef unspecified type;
    };
}
Parameters

Parameter

Requirement

Description

T

Any type

The type to query.

Expression Semantics
typedef traits::is_view<T>::type c;

Return type: An MPL Boolean Constant.

Semantics: Metafunction that evaluates to mpl::true_ if a certain type T is a conforming Fusion view, mpl::false_ otherwise.
