8 [section:has_trivial_constructor has_trivial_constructor]
11 struct has_trivial_constructor : public __tof {};
14 struct has_trivial_default_constructor : public __tof {};
16 __inherit If T is a (possibly cv-qualified) type with a trivial default-constructor
17 then inherits from __true_type, otherwise inherits from __false_type.
19 These two traits are synonyms for each other.
21 If a type has a trivial default-constructor then the constructor have no effect:
22 calls to the constructor can be safely omitted. Note that using meta-programming
23 to omit a call to a single trivial-constructor call is of no benefit whatsoever.
24 However, if loops and/or exception handling code can also be omitted, then some
25 benefit in terms of code size and speed can be obtained.
27 __compat Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler,
28 has_trivial_constructor will never report that a user-defined class or struct has a
29 trivial constructor; this is always safe, if possibly sub-optimal.
30 In addition, in order to correctly handle private or deleted default-constructors then
31 C++11's `deltype` is required.
32 Currently (May 2015) compilers more recent than Visual C++ 8, GCC-4.3, Greenhills 6.0,
33 Intel-11.0, and Codegear have the necessary compiler __intrinsics to ensure that this
34 trait "just works". You may also test to see if the necessary __intrinsics are available
35 by checking to see if the macro `BOOST_HAS_TRIVIAL_CONSTRUCTOR` is defined.

44 [:`has_trivial_constructor<int>` inherits from `__true_type`.]
46 [:`has_trivial_constructor<char*>::type` is the type `__true_type`.]
48 [:`has_trivial_constructor<int (*)(long)>::value` is an integral constant
49 expression that evaluates to /true/.]
51 [:`has_trivial_constructor<MyClass>::value` is an integral constant
52 expression that evaluates to /false/.]
54 [:`has_trivial_constructor<T>::value_type` is the type `bool`.]
