is_empty Class

Tests if type is an empty class.

Syntax

template <class Ty>
struct is_empty;

Parameters

Ty
The type to query.

Remarks

An instance of the type predicate holds true if the type Ty is an empty class, otherwise it holds false.

Example

// std__type_traits__is_empty.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>

struct empty
    {
    };

struct trivial
    {
    int val;
    };

int main()
    {
    std::cout << "is_empty<trivial> == " << std::boolalpha
        << std::is_empty<trivial>::value << std::endl;
    std::cout << "is_empty<empty> == " << std::boolalpha
        << std::is_empty<empty>::value << std::endl;
    std::cout << "is_empty<int> == " << std::boolalpha
        << std::is_empty<int>::value << std::endl;

    return (0);
    }
is_empty<trivial> == false
is_empty<empty> == true
is_empty<int> == false
