std::is_enum - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

template< class T >
struct is_enum;
(since C++11)

std::is_enum is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether T is an enumeration type. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is an enumeration type. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_enum or std::is_enum_v, the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters

Helper variable template

template< class T >
constexpr bool is_enum_v = is_enum<T>::value;
(since C++17)

Example

#include <type_traits>

struct A { enum E {}; };
static_assert(std::is_enum_v<A> == false);
static_assert(std::is_enum_v<A::E> == true);

enum E {};
static_assert(std::is_enum_v<E> == true);

enum class Ec : int {};
static_assert(std::is_enum_v<Ec> == true);

static_assert(std::is_enum_v<int> == false);

int main() {}
