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

Coding Standards
template <class T>
struct is_polymorphic : public true_type-or-false_type
{};
Inherits: If T is a (possibly cv-qualified)
polymorphic type then inherits from true_type,
otherwise inherits from false_type.
Type T
must be a complete
type.
C++ Standard Reference: 10.3.
Compiler Compatibility: The implementation requires some knowledge of the compilers ABI, it does actually seem to work with the majority of compilers though.
Header: #include
<boost/type_traits/is_polymorphic.hpp>
or #include <boost/type_traits.hpp>
Examples:
Given:
class poly{ virtual ~poly(); };
is_polymorphic<poly>
inherits fromtrue_type
.
is_polymorphic<poly const>::type
is the typetrue_type
.
is_polymorphic<poly>::value
is an integral constant expression that evaluates to true.
is_polymorphic<T>::value_type
is the typebool
.
