Defined in header `<type_traits>`
template < class T, class U > struct reference_converts_from_temporary;		(since C++23)

Let V be std::remove_cv_t<U> if U is a scalar type or cv void, or U otherwise. If T is a reference type, and given a hypothetical expression e such that decltype(e) is V, the variable definition T ref = e; is well-formed and binds a temporary object to ref, then provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise, value is false

If T is an lvalue reference type to a const- but not volatile-qualified object type or an rvalue reference type, both std::remove_reference_t<T> and std::remove_reference_t<U> shall be complete types, cv void, or an arrays of unknown bound

If an instantiation of a template above depends, directly or indirectly, on an incomplete type, and that instantiation could yield a different result if that type were hypothetically completed, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::reference_converts_from_temporary or std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v, the behavior is undefined.

Helper variable template

template < class T, class U > inline constexpr bool reference_converts_from_temporary_v = std:: reference_converts_from_temporary <T, U> :: value ;		(since C++23)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

true if T is a reference type, a U value can be bound to T in copy-initialization, and a temporary object would be bound to the reference, 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

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

Notes

std::reference_converts_from_temporary can be used for rejecting some cases that always produce dangling references.

Example

Run this code

#include <type_traits>
 
int main() {}
 
static_assert(
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<int&&, int> == true &&
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<const int&, int> == true &&
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<int&&, int&&> == false &&
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<const int&, int&&> == false &&
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<int&&, long&&> == true &&
    std::reference_converts_from_temporary_v<int&&, long> == true);
