make_unsigned

template <class T>
struct make_unsigned
{
   typedef see-below type;
};

template <class T> using make_unsigned_t = typename make_unsigned<T>::type; // C++11 and above

type: If T is a unsigned integer type then the same type as T, if T is an signed integer type then the corresponding unsigned type. Otherwise if T is an enumerated or character type (char or wchar_t) then an unsigned integer type with the same width as T.

If T has any cv-qualifiers then these are also present on the result type.

Requires: T must be an integer or enumerated type, and must not be the type bool.

C++ Standard Reference: 3.9.1.

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

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