Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T >
struct is_function;
(since C++11)

Checks whether T is a function type (not std::function). Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is a function type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

Contents

[edit] Template parameters

T - a type to check

[edit] Helper variable template

template< class T >
constexpr bool is_function_v = is_function<T>::value;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

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

Member functions

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

Member types

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
struct A {};
 
int f()
{
    return 1;
}
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_function<A>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_function<int(int)>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_function<decltype(f)>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_function<int>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

false
true
true
false
