std::is_convertible, std::is_nothrow_convertible
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <type_traits>
|
||
| template< class From, class To > struct is_convertible; |
(1) | (since C++11) |
| template< class From, class To > struct is_nothrow_convertible; |
(2) | (since C++20) |
1) If the imaginary function definition To test() { return std::declval<From>(); } is well-formed, (that is, either std::declval<From>() can be converted to
To using implicit conversions, or both From and To are possibly cv-qualified void), provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false. For the purposes of this check, the use of std::declval in the return statement is not considered an odr-use. Access checks are performed as if from a context unrelated to either type. Only the validity of the immediate context of the expression in the return statement (including conversions to the return type) is considered.
2) Same as (1), but the conversion is also
noexcept.From and To shall each be a complete type, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or an array of unknown bound. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

Member constants
| value [static] |
true if From is convertible to To , 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) |

[edit] Notes
Gives well-defined results for reference types, void types, array types, and function types.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> class E { public: template<class T> E(T&&) { } }; int main() { class A {}; class B : public A {}; class C {}; class D { public: operator C() { return c; } C c; }; bool b2a = std::is_convertible<B*, A*>::value; bool a2b = std::is_convertible<A*, B*>::value; bool b2c = std::is_convertible<B*, C*>::value; bool d2c = std::is_convertible<D, C>::value; // A Perfect Forwarding constructor make the class 'convert' from everything bool everything2e = std::is_convertible<A, E>::value; //< B, C, D, etc std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << b2a << '\n'; std::cout << a2b << '\n'; std::cout << b2c << '\n'; std::cout << d2c << '\n'; std::cout << '\n'; std::cout << everything2e << '\n'; }
Output:
true false false true true
