Defined in header <type_traits>

template< class T >
struct is_trivial;
(C++11 feature)

If T is a trivial type (that is, a scalar type, a trivially copyable class with a trivial default constructor, or array of such type/class, possibly cv-qualified), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

value_type bool
type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

[edit] Notes

Only arrays of trivial type may be safely passed to std::qsort or other functions that accept arrays as arguments of type void*.

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
struct A {
    int m;
};
 
struct B {
    B() {}
};
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_trivial<A>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_trivial<B>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

true
false
