Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T > struct is_unbounded_array;		(since C++20)

Checks whether T is an array type of unknown bound. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an array type of unknown bound. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for is_unbounded_array or is_unbounded_array_v is undefined.

Template parameters

T

-

a type to check

Helper variable template

template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_unbounded_array_v = is_unbounded_array<T>::value;		(since C++20)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value [static]

true if T is an array type of unknown bound , 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_unbounded_array: std::false_type {};   template<class T> struct is_unbounded_array<T[]> : std::true_type {};

Notes

Feature testing macro: __cpp_lib_bounded_array_traits

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
#define OUT(...) std::cout << #__VA_ARGS__ << " : " << __VA_ARGS__ << '\n'
 
class A {};
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<A> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<A[]> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<A[3]> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<float> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<int> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<int[]> );
    OUT( std::is_unbounded_array_v<int[3]> );
}

Output:

std::is_unbounded_array_v<A> : false
std::is_unbounded_array_v<A[]> : true
std::is_unbounded_array_v<A[3]> : false
std::is_unbounded_array_v<float> : false
std::is_unbounded_array_v<int> : false
std::is_unbounded_array_v<int[]> : true
std::is_unbounded_array_v<int[3]> : false
