// bslmf_issame.h -*-C++-*- #ifndef INCLUDED_BSLMF_ISSAME #define INCLUDED_BSLMF_ISSAME #include <bsls_ident.h> BSLS_IDENT("$Id: $") //@PURPOSE: Provide a meta-function for testing if two types are the same. // //@CLASSES: // bsl::is_same: standard meta-function for testing if two types are the same // bsl::is_same_v: the result value of the standard meta-function // bslmf::IsSame: meta-function for testing if two types are the same // //@DESCRIPTION: This component defines two meta-functions, 'bsl::is_same' and // 'BloombergLP::bslmf::IsSame' and a template variable 'bsl::is_same_v', // that represents the result value of the 'bsl::is_same' meta-function. All // these meta-functions may be used to query whether two types are the same. // Two types are the same if they name the same type having the same // cv-qualifications. // // 'bsl::is_same' meets the requirements of the 'is_same' template defined in // the C++11 standard [meta.rel], while 'bslmf::IsSame' was devised before // 'is_same' was standardized. // // The two meta-functions are functionally equivalent. The major difference // between them is that the result for 'bsl::is_same' is indicated by the class // member 'value', while the result for 'bslmf::IsSame' is indicated by the // class member 'VALUE'. // // Note that 'bsl::is_same' should be preferred over 'bslmf::IsSame', and in // general, should be used by new components. // // Also note that the template variable 'is_same_v' is defined in the C++17 // standard as an inline variable. If the current compiler supports the inline // variable C++17 compiler feature, 'bsl::is_same_v' is defined as an // 'inline constexpr bool' variable. Otherwise, if the compiler supports the // variable templates C++14 compiler feature, 'bsl::is_same_v' is defined as a // non-inline 'constexpr bool' variable. See // 'BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_INLINE_VARIABLES' and // 'BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_VARIABLE_TEMPLATES' macros in // bsls_compilerfeatures component for details. // ///Usage ///----- // In this section we show intended use of this component. // ///Example 1: Determine Same Types ///- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - // Suppose that we have several pairs of types and want to assert whether // the types in each pair are the same. // // First, we define several 'typedef's: //.. // typedef int INT1; // typedef double DOUBLE; // typedef short SHORT; // typedef const short CONST_SHORT; // typedef int INT2; // typedef int& INT_REF; //.. // Now, we instantiate the 'bsl::is_same' template for certain pairs of the // 'typedef's and assert the 'value' static data member of each instantiation: //.. // assert(true == (bsl::is_same<INT1, INT2>::value)); // assert(false == (bsl::is_same<INT, DOUBLE>::value)); //.. // Note that a 'const'-qualified type is considered distinct from the // non-'const' (but otherwise identical) type: //.. // assert(false == (bsl::is_same<SHORT, CONST_SHORT>::value)); //.. // Similarly, a 't_TYPE' and a reference to 't_TYPE' ('t_TYPE&') are distinct: //.. // assert(false == (bsl::is_same<INT, INT_REF>::value)); //.. // Note that if the current compiler supports the variable templates C++14 // feature then we can re-write the snippet of code above using the // 'bsl::is_same_v' variable as follows: //.. //#ifdef BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_VARIABLE_TEMPLATES // assert(false == (bsl::is_same_v<SHORT, CONST_SHORT>)); // assert(false == (bsl::is_same_v<INT, INT_REF>)); //#endif //.. #include <bslscm_version.h> #include <bslmf_integralconstant.h> #include <bsls_compilerfeatures.h> #include <bsls_keyword.h> namespace bsl { // ============== // struct is_same // ============== template <class t_TYPE1, class t_TYPE2> struct is_same : false_type { // This 'struct' template provides a meta-function to determine whether the // (template parameter) 't_TYPE1' and the (template parameter) 't_TYPE2' // are the same.
