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

If T is a const-qualified type (that is, const, or const volatile), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

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

Member functions

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

Member types

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

Possible implementation

template<class T> struct is_const : std::false_type {}; template<class T> struct is_const<const T> : std::true_type {};

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_const<int>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_const<const int>::value  << '\n';
}

Output:

false
true
