std::is_lvalue_reference

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T >
struct is_lvalue_reference;
(since C++11)

std::is_lvalue_reference is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether T is an lvalue reference type. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an lvalue reference type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_lvalue_reference or std::is_lvalue_reference_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T >
constexpr bool is_lvalue_reference_v = is_lvalue_reference<T>::value;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if T is an lvalue reference type, false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool, returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

Possible implementation

template<class T> struct is_lvalue_reference     : std::false_type {};
template<class T> struct is_lvalue_reference<T&> : std::true_type {};

Example

#include <type_traits>

class A {};
static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<A> == false);
static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<A&> == true);
static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<A&&> == false);

static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<int> == false);
static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<int&> == true);
static_assert(std::is_lvalue_reference_v<int&&> == false);

int main() {}
