template< class T >
struct add_lvalue_reference;
(1) (C++11 feature)
template< class T >
struct add_rvalue_reference;
(2) (C++11 feature)

1) If T is an object or function, provides a member typedef type which is T&. If T is an rvalue reference to some type U, then type is U&. Otherwise, type is T.

2) If T is an object or function, provides a member typedef type which is T&&, otherwise type is T.

type reference to T, or T if not allowed

[edit] Notes

These type transformations honor reference collapse rules:

std::add_lvalue_reference<T&>::type is T&
std::add_lvalue_reference<T&&>::type is T&
std::add_rvalue_reference<T&>::type is T&
std::add_rvalue_reference<T&&>::type is T&&
