is_const

template <class T>
struct is_const : public true_type-or-false_type {};

Inherits: If T is a (top level) const-qualified type then inherits from true_type, otherwise inherits from false_type.

C++ Standard Reference: 3.9.3.

Header: #include <boost/type_traits/is_const.hpp> or #include <boost/type_traits.hpp>

Compiler Compatibility: All current compilers are supported by this trait.

Examples:

is_const<int const> inherits from true_type.

is_const<int const volatile>::type is the type true_type.

is_const<int* const>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to true.

is_const<int const*>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false: the const-qualifier is not at the top level in this case.

is_const<int const&>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false: the const-qualifier is not at the top level in this case.

is_const<int>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false.

is_const<T>::value_type is the type bool.
