STD::IS_POINTER(3)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this one's a certified classic β€” the man page for std::is_pointer< _Tp >, and the vibes are, and I say this with love, extremely short.

The name of the game, literally, is is_pointer. That's the whole thing. That's what it's called. Slay. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

to even look at this thing you gotta pull in the header first, like:

#include <type_traits>

that's the ticket. that's the door. πŸšͺ✨


πŸ“– Detailed Description πŸ“–

okay so here's where it gets iconic in its minimalism, because this is what we've got:

template<typename _Tp>
    struct std::is_pointer< _Tp >"is_pointer

and that's... that's the whole detailed description, bestie. 😭

not me realizing this page is out here doing the absolute least and still getting a man page named after it. main character energy, honestly. it's giving "said nothing but said it with confidence." πŸŽ€

so like, the template takes a _Tp, the struct is std::is_pointer< _Tp >, and the description trails off into "is_pointer. that's it. that's the entire lore. no cap. 🌸

real talk though: this page is generated straight from the source code, so there's no extra hand-written prose hiding anywhere. what you see is genuinely what you get, no crumbs left behind. πŸ¦‹

🫢 Author 🫢

the author credit goes a little something like this, verbatim, because I would never paraphrase a legend:

Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code.

so nobody sat down and hand-typed this one with love and a candle lit β€” Doxygen did it, for libstdc++, straight off the source. automated queen. πŸ€–πŸ‘‘


and that's the whole page, bestie!! πŸ’œβœ¨

before you go β€” this little cutie lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's the libstdc++ version of the std::is_pointer< _Tp > page, footer and all. no date on this one, so don't come for me about timestamps. 🫢 mwah, go read some more man pages, you're doing amazing. 🌈⭐
