std::is_move_constructible

template <class T> struct is_move_constructible;
Is move constructible

Trait class that identifies whether T is a move constructible type.

A move constructible type is a type that can be constructed from an rvalue reference of its type. This includes scalar types and move constructible classes.

A move constructible class is a class that either has a move constructor (implicit or custom) or a copy constructor that is called for rvalue references (these are always called unless the class has a deleted move constructor).

Note that this implies that all copy-constructible types are also move-constructible.

The is_move_constructible class inherits from integral_constant as being either true_type or false_type, depending on whether T is move constructible.

Template parameters

T
A complete type, or void (possible cv-qualified), or an array of unknown bound.

Member types

Inherited from integral_constant:
member typedefinition
value_typebool
typeeither true_type or false_type

Member constants

Inherited from integral_constant:
member constantdefinition
valueeither true or false

Member functions

Inherited from integral_constant:
operator bool
Returns value (public member function )

// is_move_constructible example
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>

struct A { };
struct B { B(B&&) = delete; };

int main() {
  std::cout << std::boolalpha;
  std::cout << "is_move_constructible:" << std::endl;
  std::cout << "int: " << std::is_move_constructible<int>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "A: " << std::is_move_constructible<A>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "B: " << std::is_move_constructible<B>::value << std::endl;
  return 0;
}


Output:
is_move_constructible:
int: true
A: true
B: false
