...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Coding Standards
template <class T>
struct is_reference : public true_type-or-false_type
{};
Inherits: If T is a reference type (either an lvalue reference or an rvalue reference) then inherits from true_type, otherwise inherits from false_type.
C++ Standard Reference: 3.9.2 and 8.3.2.
Compiler Compatibility: If the compiler does not support partial-specialization of class templates, then this template may report the wrong result for function types, and for types that are both const and volatile qualified.
Header: #include
<boost/type_traits/is_reference.hpp>
or #include <boost/type_traits.hpp>
Examples:
is_reference<int&>
inherits fromtrue_type
.
is_reference<int const&>::type
is the typetrue_type
.
is_reference<int const&&>::type
is the typetrue_type
.
is_reference<int (&)(long)>::value
is an integral constant expression that evaluates to true (the argument in this case is a reference to a function).
is_reference<T>::value_type
is the typebool
.
