💖 __gnu_pbds::null_type — (3cxx) manual page 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the no-type corner of libstdc++ — yes, we're doing template tricks and we're doing them cutely. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

__gnu_pbds::null_type — represents no type, or the absence of type, for template tricks. Periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <tag_and_trait.hpp>

Inherited by __gnu_pbds::null_node_update< _Tp1, _Tp2, _Tp3, _Tp4 >.

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Okay so the whole vibe: __gnu_pbds::null_type represents no type, or the absence of type, for template tricks. That's the main character energy. 🎀

Here's where she shows up and what she means:

• In a mapped-policy, indicates that an associative container is a set. 🫶
• In a list-update policy, indicates that each link does not need metadata. 💅
• In a hash policy, indicates that the combining hash function is actually a ranged hash function. 🔥
• In a probe policy, indicates that the combining probe function is actually a ranged probe function. 🌈

no extra lore, bestie — that's literally the whole list. and yes, "no type" is the point; she's not missing, she's iconic. 😭

Catch you later, bestie — this page is from libstdc++ and points back to __gnu_pbds::null_type(3cxx). The footer didn't print a date, so I'm not inventing one — no cap. 💖🦋
