std::is_enum - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

template<classT>structis_enum;(since C++11)std::is_enum is a

UnaryTypeTrait

.

Checks whether T is an

enumeration type

. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an enumeration type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_enum or std::is_enum_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters
