boost::hana::is_default< Method, typename > Struct Template Reference

Description

template<typename Method, typename>
struct boost::hana::is_default< Method, typename >

Returns whether a tag-dispatched method implementation is a default implementation.

Given a tag-dispatched method implementation method_impl<T...>, is_default<method_impl<T...>> returns whether method_impl<T...> is a default implementation. Note that if there is no default implementation for the method, then is_default should not be used unless a static assertion saying that "the method is not implemented" is acceptable.
