NAME

       FBB::TypeTrait - shortdesc

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/typetrait>

DESCRIPTION

       FBB::TypeTrait  is  a  traits class. It does not define any member functions or data members, but merely types. It can be used to determine
       the basic type and other characteristics of (const) plain, (const) pointer or (const) reference types. It was designed after Alexandrescu's(2001) TypeTraits template class.

       The  FBB::LpromotesR  class template is used to determine, compile-time, whether its second (right-hand side) template type can be promoted
       to its first (left-hand side) template type.

       The FBB::Use class template expects two typenames LHS and RHS and defines typename Use<LHS, RHS>::type as LHS if RHS can be promoted to LHS
       or it defines typename Use<LHS, RHS>::type as RHS.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

TypeTrait<;TYPE>
       TYPE is the template type parameter whose characteristics must be determined.

       TypeTrait<TYPE>	defines  the  type  Plain:  the  plain	type  (the type without const, pointer, reference type indication) of any const or
       non-const plain, pointer, lvalue- or rvalue-reference type.

       TypeTrait<TYPE> defines the following bool values:

       o      isClass: true if the template type argument represents a class (struct) type, false otherwise.

       o      isConst: true if the template type argument represents a const type, false otherwise.

       o      isPointer: true if the template type argument represents a pointer type, false otherwise.

       o      isR_Ref: true if the template type argument represents a rvalue reference type, false otherwise.

       o      isRef: true if the template type argument represents an lvalue reference type, false otherwise.

LpromotesR<;LeftType, RightType>
       LpromotesR<LeftType, RightType> defines the enum constant yes as 1 if an RightType argument can be promoted to LeftType	value  or  object.
       The enum value yes is defined as 0 if no such constructor is available or if such a constructor is defined using the explicit keyword.

EXAMPLES

       Here is an example using LpromotesR:

	   int main()
	   {
	       cout << "string promotes char const *: " <<
		       LpromotesR<string, char const *>::yes << '
';  // 1
	       cout << "string promotes string " <<
		       LpromotesR<string, string>::yes << '
';        // 1
	       cout << "char const * promotes string " <<
		       LpromotesR<char const *, string>::yes << '
';  // 0
	   }
