Identifying primitive types in templates

Question

I am looking for a way to identify primitives types in a template class definition.

I mean, having this class :

template
class A{
void         


        

Answer 1

It cannot be done exactly the way you asked. Here is how it can be done :

template
class A{
void doWork(){
   bool isPrimitive = boost::is_fundamental::value;
   if(isPrimitive)
     doSomething();
   else
     doSomethingElse(); 
}
private:
T *t; 
};

You may get a warning if you put the value of isPrimitive directly inside the if statement. This is why i introduced a temporary variable.
