std::unwrap_reference,std::unwrap_ref_decay – std::unwrap_reference,std::unwrap_ref_decay

Synopsis

Defined in header<functional>

    template <class T>
    (1)(since C++ 20)

        struct unwrap_reference;

template <class T>
(2)(since C++ 20)

    struct unwrap_ref_decay : std::unwrap_reference<std::decay_t<T>> {
};

1) If T is std::reference_wrapper<U> for some type U, provides a member typedef type that names U&; otherwise, provides a member typedef type that names T.
2) If T is std::reference_wrapper<U> for some type U, ignoring cv-qualification and referenceness, provides a member typedef type that names U&; otherwise, provides a member typedef type that names std::decay_t<T>.

Member types

Name Definition
type 1) U& if T is std::reference_wrapper<U>; T otherwise
     2) U& if std::decay_t<T> is std::reference_wrapper<U>; std::decay_t<T> otherwise

Helper types

template<class T> (since C++20)
using unwrap_ref_decay_t = typename unwrap_ref_decay<T>::type;

Possible implementation

  template <class T>
  struct unwrap_reference { using type = T; };
  template <class U>
  struct unwrap_reference<std::reference_wrapper<U>> { using type = U&; };

Notes

std::unwrap_ref_decay performs the same transformation as used by std::make_pair and std::make_tuple.
