[edit]

Defined in header`<type_traits>`
template<class B> struct negation;		(since C++17)

Forms thelogical negation of the type traitB.

The typestd::negation<B> is aUnaryTypeTrait with a base characteristic ofstd::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)>.

If the program adds specializations forstd::negation orstd::negation_v, the behavior is undefined.

[edit]Template parameters

any type such that the expressionbool(B::value) is a valid constant expression

[edit]Helper variable template

template<class B> constexprbool negation_v= negation<B>::value;		(since C++17)

[edit]

Inherited fromstd::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

true ifB has a member::value that isfalse when explicitly converted tobool,false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool	converts the object tobool, returnsvalue (public member function)
operator() (C++14)	returnsvalue (public member function)

Member types

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

[edit]Possible implementation

template<class B>struct negation:std::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)>{};

[edit]Example

Run this code

#include <type_traits> static_assert(std::is_same<std::bool_constant<false>,typename std::negation<std::bool_constant<true>>::type>::value,"");static_assert(std::is_same<std::bool_constant<true>,typename std::negation<std::bool_constant<false>>::type>::value,""); static_assert(std::negation_v<std::bool_constant<true>>==false);static_assert(std::negation_v<std::bool_constant<false>>==true); int main(){}
