type

the type referred by T or T if it is not a reference

Helper types
| template< class T > using remove_reference_t = typename remove_reference<T>::type; |
(since C++14) | |
Possible implementation
template< class T > struct remove_reference {typedef T type;}; template< class T > struct remove_reference<T&> {typedef T type;}; template< class T > struct remove_reference<T&&> {typedef T type;}; |
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> // std::cout #include <type_traits> // std::is_same template<class T1, class T2> void print_is_same() { std::cout << std::is_same<T1, T2>() << '\n'; } int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; print_is_same<int, int>(); print_is_same<int, int &>(); print_is_same<int, int &&>(); print_is_same<int, std::remove_reference<int>::type>(); print_is_same<int, std::remove_reference<int &>::type>(); print_is_same<int, std::remove_reference<int &&>::type>(); }
Output:
true false false true true true
