is_enum

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

Inherits: If T is a (possibly cv-qualified) enum type then inherits from true_type, otherwise inherits from false_type.

C++ Standard Reference: 3.9.2 and 7.2.

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

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

Examples:

Given: enum my_enum { one, two };

is_enum<my_enum> inherits from true_type.

is_enum<my_enum const>::type is the type true_type.

is_enum<my_enum>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to true.

is_enum<my_enum&>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false.

is_enum<my_enum*>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false.

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