|   template<class B> struct negation;  | 
(1) | (since C++17) | 
Forms the logical negation of the type trait B.
The type std::negation<B> is a UnaryTypeTrait with a BaseCharacteristic of std::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)>.
Template parameters
| B | - | any type such that the expression bool(B::value) is a valid constant expression | 
Helper variable template
|   template<class B> inline constexpr bool negation_v = negation<B>::value;  | 
(since C++17) | |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
|    value [static]  | 
   true if  B has a member ::value that is false when explicitly converted to bool , 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)  | 
Member types

  type

std::integral_constant<bool, value> | 
Possible implementation
template<class B> struct negation : std::bool_constant<!bool(B::value)> { };  | 
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #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, ""); int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::negation<std::bool_constant<true>>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::negation<std::bool_constant<false>>::value << '\n'; }
Output:
false true
