template<classT>structis_default_constructible; (1) (since C++11)template<classT>structis_trivially_default_constructible; (2) (since C++11)template<classT>structis_nothrow_default_constructible; (3) (since C++11)1) Provides the member constant value equal to std::is_constructible<T>::value.

2) Provides the member constant value equal to std::is_trivially_constructible<T>::value.

3) Provides the member constant value equal to std::is_nothrow_constructible<T>::value.

If T is not a complete type, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or an array of unknown bound, the behavior is undefined.

If an instantiation of a template above depends, directly or indirectly, on an incomplete type, and that instantiation could yield a different result if that type were hypothetically completed, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for any of the templates described on this page, the behavior is undefined.

In many implementations, std::is_nothrow_default_constructible also checks if the destructor throws because it is effectively noexcept(T()). Same applies to std::is_trivially_default_constructible, which, in these implementations, also requires that the destructor is trivial:

GCC bug 51452

,

LWG issue 2116

.

std::is_default_constructible<T> does not test that Tx; would compile; it attempts

direct-initialization

with an empty argument list (see

std::is_constructible

). Thus, std::is_default_constructible_v<constint> and std::is_default_constructible_v<constint[10]> are true.

Example

Run this code

#include<string>#include<type_traits>structS1{std::stringstr;// member has a non-trivial default constructor};static_assert(std::is_default_constructible_v<S1>==true);static_assert(std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<S1>==false);structS2{intn;S2()=default;// trivial and non-throwing};static_assert(std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<S2>==true);static_assert(std::is_nothrow_default_constructible_v<S2>==true);intmain(){}See also
