std::is_final - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

template<classT>structis_final;(since C++14)std::is_final is a

UnaryTypeTrait

.

If T is a

final

class, provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

If T is an incomplete class type, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_final or std::is_final_v(since C++17), the behavior is undefined.

std::is_final is introduced by the resolution of

LWG issue 2112

.

A

union

can be declared final (and std::is_final will detect that), even though unions cannot be used as bases in any case.
