|   template< class T, class U > struct is_same;  | 
(since C++11) | |
If T and U name the same type with the same const-volatile qualifications, provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false.

Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
|    value [static]  | 
   true if  T and U is the same 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> | 
[edit] Possible implementation
template<class T, class U> struct is_same : std::false_type {}; template<class T> struct is_same<T, T> : std::true_type {};  | 
[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> #include <cstdint> int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::is_same<int, int32_t>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_same<int, int64_t>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_same<float, int32_t>::value << '\n'; }
Output:
true false false
