|   template< class T > struct is_abstract;  | 
(since C++11) | |
If T is an abstract class (that is, a non-union class that declares or inherits at least one pure virtual function), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.
If T is a non-union class type, T shall be a complete type; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
Template parameters
| T | - | a type to check | 
Helper variable template
|   template< class T > inline constexpr bool is_abstract_v = is_abstract<T>::value;  | 
(since C++17) | |
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
|    value [static]  | 
   true if  T is an abstract class type , false otherwise  (public static member constant)  | 
Member functions
|    operator bool  | 
   converts the object to bool, returns value  (public member function)  | 
|    operator() (C++14)  | 
   returns value  (public member function)  |

Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <type_traits> struct A { int m; }; struct B { virtual void foo(); }; struct C { virtual void foo() = 0; }; struct D : C {}; int main() { std::cout << std::boolalpha; std::cout << std::is_abstract<A>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_abstract<B>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_abstract<C>::value << '\n'; std::cout << std::is_abstract<D>::value << '\n'; }
Output:
false false true true
