template< class T > struct is_empty; | (since C++11) |
If T
is an empty type (that is, a non-union class type with no non-static data members other than bit-fields of size 0, no virtual functions, no virtual base classes, and no non-empty base classes), provides the member constant value
equal true
. For any other type, value
is false
.
If T
is a non-union class type, T
shall be a complete type; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
T | - | a type to check |
template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_empty_v = is_empty<T>::value; | (since C++17) |
value
[static] | true if T is an empty class type , false otherwise (public static member constant) |
operator bool | converts the object to bool , returns value (public member function) |
operator()
(C++14) | returns value (public member function) |

Inheriting from empty base classes usually does not increase the size of a class due to empty base optimization.
std::is_empty<T>
and all other type traits are empty classes.
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> struct A {}; struct B { int m; }; struct C { static int m; }; struct D { virtual ~D(); }; union E {}; struct F { [[no_unique_address]] E e; }; int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << "A " << std::is_empty<A>::value << '\n'; std::cout << "B " << std::is_empty<B>::value << '\n'; std::cout << "C " << std::is_empty<C>::value << '\n'; std::cout << "D " << std::is_empty<D>::value << '\n'; std::cout << "E " << std::is_empty<E>::value << '\n'; std::cout << "F " << std::is_empty<F>::value << '\n'; // the result is ABI-dependent }
Possible output:
A true B false C true D false E false F true
