- Component bslmf_addconst
-
- Description:
- This component defines a meta-function,
bsl::remove_const
and declares an bsl::remove_const_t
alias to the return type of the bsl::remove_const
, that may be used to remove any top-level const
-qualifier from a type.
bsl::remove_const
and bsl::remove_const_t
meet the requirements of the remove_const
template defined in the C++11 standard [meta.trans.cv].
-
- Usage:
- In this section we show intended use of this component.
-
- Example 1: Removing the const-Qualifier of a Type:
- Suppose that we want to remove any top-level
const
-qualifier from a particular type.
- First, we create two
typedef
s -- a const
-qualified type (MyConstType
) and the same type without the const
-qualifier (MyType
): typedef int MyType;
typedef const int MyConstType;
Now, we remove the const
-qualifier from MyConstType
using bsl::remove_const
and verify that the resulting type is the same as MyType
: Finally, if the current compiler supports alias templates C++11 feature, we remove a const
-qualifier from MyConstType
using bsl::remove_const_t
and verify that the resulting type is the same as MyType
: #ifdef BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_ALIAS_TEMPLATES
assert(true ==
(bsl::is_same<bsl::remove_const_t<MyConstType>, MyType>::value));
#endif
Note, that the bsl::remove_const_t
avoids the ::type
suffix and typename
prefix when we want to use the result of the bsl::remove_const
meta-function in templates.
