std::copy_constructible

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | concepts
Defined in header <concepts>
template < class T >

concept copy_constructible =
std::move_constructible <T> &&
std::constructible_from <T, T& > && std::convertible_to <T&, T> &&
std::constructible_from <T, const T& > && std::convertible_to < const T&, T> &&

std::constructible_from <T, const T> && std::convertible_to < const T, T> ;
(since C++20)

The concept copy_constructible is satisfied if T is an lvalue reference type, or if it is a move_constructible

Semantic requirements

If T is an object type, then copy_constructible<T> is modeled only if given

  • v, an lvalue of type (possibly const) T or an rvalue of type const T

the following are true:

  • After the definition T u = v;, u is equal to v and v
  • T(v) is equal to v and does not modify v
