is_same Class

Tests if two types are the same.

template<class Ty1, class Ty2>
    struct is_same;

Parameters

  • Ty1
    The first type to query.

  • Ty2
    The second type to query.

Remarks

An instance of the type predicate holds true if the types Ty1 and Ty2 are the same type, otherwise it holds false.

Example

 

// std_tr1__type_traits__is_same.cpp 
// compile with: /EHsc 
#include <type_traits> 
#include <iostream> 
 
struct base 
    { 
    int val; 
    }; 
 
struct derived 
    : public base 
    { 
    }; 
 
int main() 
    { 
    std::cout << "is_same<base, base> == " << std::boolalpha 
        << std::is_same<base, base>::value << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "is_same<base, derived> == " << std::boolalpha 
        << std::is_same<base, derived>::value << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "is_same<derived, base> == " << std::boolalpha 
        << std::is_same<derived, base>::value << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "is_same<int, int> == " << std::boolalpha 
        << std::is_same<int, int>::value << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "is_same<int, const int> == " << std::boolalpha 
        << std::is_same<int, const int>::value << std::endl; 
 
    return (0); 
    } 
 
is_same<base, base> == true
is_same<base, derived> == false
is_same<derived, base> == false
is_same<int, int> == true
is_same<int, const int> == false
