std::remove_pointer
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <type_traits>
|
||
template< class T > struct remove_pointer; |
(since C++11) | |
Provides the member typedef type which is the type pointed to by T, or, if T is not a pointer, then type is the same as T.
If the program adds specializations for std::remove_pointer, the behavior is undefined.

type
|
the type pointed to by T or T if it's not a pointer

Helper types
template< class T > using remove_pointer_t = typename remove_pointer<T>::type; |
(since C++14) | |
Possible implementation
template<class T> struct remove_pointer { typedef T type; };
template<class T> struct remove_pointer<T*> { typedef T type; };
template<class T> struct remove_pointer<T* const> { typedef T type; };
template<class T> struct remove_pointer<T* volatile> { typedef T type; };
template<class T> struct remove_pointer<T* const volatile> { typedef T type; };
