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

38 [:`has_trivial_destructor<int>` inherits from `__true_type`.]
40 [:`has_trivial_destructor<char*>::type` is the type `__true_type`.]
42 [:`has_trivial_destructor<int (*)(long)>::value` is an integral constant
43 expression that evaluates to /true/.]
45 [:`has_trivial_destructor<MyClass>::value` is an integral constant
46 expression that evaluates to /false/.]
48 [:`has_trivial_destructor<T>::value_type` is the type `bool`.]
