class template

<type_traits>

std::is_polymorphic

template <class T> struct is_polymorphic;

Is polymorphic

Trait class that identifies whether T is a polymorphic class.

A polymorphic class is a class that declares or inherits a virtual function.

is_polymorphic inherits from integral_constant as being either true_type or false_type, depending on whether T is a polymorphic class type.

Template parameters

T

A complete type, or void (possible cv-qualified), or an array of unknown bound of a complete element type.

A type.
If a class type, it shall be a complete type or a union (for unions, this trait is always false).

Member types Inherited from integral_constant:

Member constants Inherited from integral_constant:
member constant definition value either true or false
Member functions Inherited from integral_constant:

operator bool: Returns value (public member function)

Example

// is_polymorphic example
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

struct A { };
struct B { virtual void fn(){} };
struct C : B {};

int main() {
  std::cout << std::boolalpha;
  std::cout << "is_polymorphic:" << std::endl;
  std::cout << "int: " << std::is_polymorphic<int>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "A: " << std::is_polymorphic<A>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "B: " << std::is_polymorphic<B>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "C: " << std::is_polymorphic<C>::value << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:

is_polymorphic:
int: false
A: false
B: true
C: true
