std::is_pointer(3)

NAME
std::is_pointer - std::is_pointer

Synopsis
   Defined in header <type_traits>
   template< class T > (since C++11)
   struct is_pointer;
   Checks whether T is a pointer to object or a pointer to function (but not a pointer
   to member/member function) or a cv-qualified version thereof. Provides the member
   constant value which is equal to true, if T is a object/function pointer type.
   Otherwise, value is equal to false.
   The behavior of a program that adds specializations for is_pointer
   or is_pointer_v
   (since C++17) is undefined.

Template parameters
   T - a type to check
  Helper variable template
   template< class T > (since C++17)
   inline constexpr bool is_pointer_v = is_pointer<T>::value; Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants
   value true if T is a pointer type , false otherwise
   [static] (public static member constant)

Member functions
   operator bool converts the object to bool, returns value
                 (public member function)
   operator() returns value
   (C++14) (public member function)

Member types
   Type Definition
   value_type bool
   type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

Possible implementation
   template<class T>
   struct is_pointer : std::false_type {};
   template<class T>
   struct is_pointer<T*> : std::true_type {};
   template<class T>
   struct is_pointer<T* const> : std::true_type {};
   template<class T>
   struct is_pointer<T* volatile> : std::true_type {};
   template<class T>
   struct is_pointer<T* const volatile> : std::true_type {};

Example
// Run this code
 #include <type_traits>
 int main()
 {
     class A {};
     static_assert(
            not std::is_pointer<A>::value
         && not std::is_pointer_v<A> // same thing as above, but in C++17!
         && not std::is_pointer<A>() // same as above, using inherited operator bool
         && not std::is_pointer<A>{} // ditto
         && not std::is_pointer<A>()() // same as above, using inherited operator()
         && not std::is_pointer<A>{}() // ditto
         && std::is_pointer<A *>::value
         && std::is_pointer<A const * volatile>()
         && not std::is_pointer<A &>::value
         && not std::is_pointer<int>::value
         && std::is_pointer<int *>::value
         && std::is_pointer<int **>::value
         && not std::is_pointer<int[10]>::value
         && not std::is_pointer<std::nullptr_t>::value
     );
 }
