| 158 |
|
| 159 |
-
Objects declared as characters (`char`) shall be large enough to store
|
| 160 |
-
any member of the implementation’s basic character set. If a character
|
| 161 |
-
from this set is stored in a character object, the integral value of
|
| 162 |
-
that character object is equal to the value of the single character
|
| 163 |
-
literal form of that character. It is *implementation-defined* whether a
|
| 164 |
-
`char` object can hold negative values. Characters can be explicitly
|
| 165 |
-
declared `unsigned` or `signed`. Plain `char`, `signed char`, and
|
| 166 |
-
`unsigned char` are three distinct types, collectively called *narrow
|
| 167 |
-
character types*. A `char`, a `signed char`, and an `unsigned char`
|
| 168 |
-
occupy the same amount of storage and have the same alignment
|
| 169 |
-
requirements ([[basic.align]]); that is, they have the same object
|
| 170 |
-
representation. For narrow character types, all bits of the object
|
| 171 |
-
representation participate in the value representation.
|
| 172 |
-
|
| 173 |
-
[*Note 1*: A bit-field of narrow character type whose length is larger
|
| 174 |
-
than the number of bits in the object representation of that type has
|
| 175 |
-
padding bits; see [[class.bit]]. — *end note*]
|
| 176 |
-
|
| 177 |
-
For unsigned narrow character types, each possible bit pattern of the
|
| 178 |
-
value representation represents a distinct number. These requirements do
|
| 179 |
-
not hold for other types. In any particular implementation, a plain
|
| 180 |
-
`char` object can take on either the same values as a `signed char` or
|
| 181 |
-
an `unsigned
|
| 182 |
-
char`; which one is *implementation-defined*. For each value *i* of type
|
| 183 |
-
`unsigned char` in the range 0 to 255 inclusive, there exists a value
|
| 184 |
-
*j* of type `char` such that the result of an integral conversion (
|
| 185 |
-
[[conv.integral]]) from *i* to `char` is *j*, and the result of an
|
| 186 |
-
integral conversion from *j* to `unsigned char` is *i*.
|
| 187 |
-
|
| 188 |
There are five *standard signed integer types* : “`signed char`”,
|
| 189 |
“`short int`”, “`int`”, “`long int`”, and “`long long int`”. In this
|
| 190 |
list, each type provides at least as much storage as those preceding it
|
| 191 |
in the list. There may also be *implementation-defined* *extended signed
|
| 192 |
integer types*. The standard and extended signed integer types are
|
| 193 |
-
collectively called *signed integer types*.

-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 197 |
|
| 198 |
For each of the standard signed integer types, there exists a
|
| 199 |
corresponding (but different) *standard unsigned integer type*:
|
| 200 |
“`unsigned char`”, “`unsigned short int`”, “`unsigned int`”,
|
| 201 |
-
“`unsigned long int`”, and “`unsigned long long int`”,

### Compound types <a id="basic.compound">[[basic.compound]]</a>
|
| 292 |
|
| 293 |
Compound types can be constructed in the following ways:
|
| 294 |
|
| 295 |
-
- *arrays* of objects of a given type,
|
| 296 |
- *functions*, which have parameters of given types and return `void` or
|
| 297 |
-
references or objects of a given type,
|
| 298 |
- *pointers* to cv `void` or objects or functions (including static
|
| 299 |
-
members of classes) of a given type,
|
| 300 |
-
- *references* to objects or functions of a given type,
|
| 301 |
There are two types of references:
|
| 302 |
-
-
|
| 303 |
-
-
|
| 304 |
-
- *classes* containing a sequence of objects of various types
|
| 305 |
-
|
| 306 |
-
|
| 307 |
-
|
| 308 |
-
[[class.access]]);
|
| 309 |
- *unions*, which are classes capable of containing objects of different
|
| 310 |
-
types at different times,
|
| 311 |
- *enumerations*, which comprise a set of named constant values. Each
|
| 312 |
-
distinct enumeration constitutes a different *enumerated type*,
|
| 313 |
[[dcl.enum]];
|
| 314 |
-
- *pointers to non-static class members*, [^
|
| 315 |
-
of a given type within objects of a given class,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 316 |
|
| 317 |
These methods of constructing types can be applied recursively;
|
| 318 |
-
restrictions are mentioned in [[dcl.

-

The type of a pointer to cv `void` or a pointer to an object type is
|
| 324 |
called an *object pointer type*.
|
| 325 |
|
| 326 |
[*Note 1*: A pointer to `void` does not have a pointer-to-object type,
|
| 327 |
however, because `void` is not an object type. — *end note*]
|
| 328 |
|
| 329 |
The type of a pointer that can designate a function is called a
|
| 330 |
-
*function pointer type*. A pointer to
|
| 331 |
-
as a “pointer to `T`”.
|
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
[*Example 1*: A pointer to an object of type `int` is referred to as
|
| 334 |
“pointer to `int`” and a pointer to an object of class `X` is called a
|
| 335 |
“pointer to `X`”. — *end example*]
|
| 336 |
|
| 337 |
Except for pointers to static members, text referring to “pointers” does
|
| 338 |
not apply to pointers to members. Pointers to incomplete types are

| 339 |

allowed although there are restrictions on what can be done with them

- a *pointer to* an object or function (the pointer is said to *point*

| 344 |
-
- a *pointer past the end of* an object
|
| 345 |
-
- the *null pointer value*
|
| 346 |
- an *invalid pointer value*.
|
| 347 |
|
| 348 |
A value of a pointer type that is a pointer to or past the end of an

object *represents the address* of the first byte in memory

memory after the end of the storage occupied by the object,

| 352 |
respectively.

-
[*Note 2*: A pointer past the end of an object
|
| 355 |
considered to point to an unrelated object of the object’s type that
|
| 356 |
might be located at that address. A pointer value becomes invalid when
|
| 357 |
the storage it denotes reaches the end of its storage duration; see
|
| 358 |
[[basic.stc]]. — *end note*]

For purposes of pointer arithmetic
|
| 361 |
[[expr.rel]], [[expr.eq]]), a pointer past the end of the last element
|
| 362 |
of an array `x` of n elements is considered to be equivalent to a
|

[*Note 1*: [[basic.types]] and the subclauses thereof impose
|
| 4 |
requirements on implementations regarding the representation of types.
|
| 5 |
There are two kinds of types: fundamental types and compound types.
|
| 6 |
+
Types describe objects [[intro.object]], references [[dcl.ref]], or
|
| 7 |
+
functions [[dcl.fct]]. — *end note*]
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
+
For any object (other than a potentially-overlapping subobject) of
|
| 10 |
+
trivially copyable type `T`, whether or not the object holds a valid
|
| 11 |
+
value of type `T`, the underlying bytes [[intro.memory]] making up the
|
| 12 |
+
object can be copied into an array of `char`, `unsigned char`, or
|
| 13 |
+
`std::byte` [[cstddef.syn]]. [^18] If the content of that array is
|
| 14 |
+
copied back into the object, the object shall subsequently hold its
|
| 15 |
+
original value.
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
[*Example 1*:
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
``` cpp
|
| 20 |
+
constexpr std::size_t N = sizeof(T);
|
| 21 |
char buf[N];
|
| 22 |
T obj; // obj initialized to its original value
|
| 23 |
std::memcpy(buf, &obj, N); // between these two calls to std::memcpy, obj might be modified
|
| 24 |
std::memcpy(&obj, buf, N); // at this point, each subobject of obj of scalar type holds its original value
|
| 25 |
```
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
— *end example*]
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
For any trivially copyable type `T`, if two pointers to `T` point to
|
| 30 |
distinct `T` objects `obj1` and `obj2`, where neither `obj1` nor `obj2`
|
| 31 |
+
is a potentially-overlapping subobject, if the underlying bytes
|
| 32 |
+
[[intro.memory]] making up `obj1` are copied into `obj2`,[^19] `obj2`
|
| 33 |
+
shall subsequently hold the same value as `obj1`.
|
| 34 |
|

The *object representation* of an object of type `T` is the sequence of
|
| 49 |
*N* `unsigned char` objects taken up by the object of type `T`, where
|
| 50 |
+
*N* equals `sizeof(T)`. The *value representation* of an object of type
|
| 51 |
+
`T` is the set of bits that participate in representing a value of type
|
| 52 |
+
`T`. Bits in the object representation that are not part of the value
|
| 53 |
+
representation are *padding bits*. For trivially copyable types, the
|
| 54 |
+
value representation is a set of bits in the object representation that
|
| 55 |
+
determines a *value*, which is one discrete element of an
|
| 56 |
+
*implementation-defined* set of values.[^20]
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
A class that has been declared but not defined, an enumeration type in
|
| 59 |
+
certain contexts [[dcl.enum]], or an array of unknown bound or of
|
| 60 |
incomplete element type, is an *incompletely-defined object type*. [^21]
|
| 61 |
+
Incompletely-defined object types and cv `void` are *incomplete types*
|
| 62 |
+
[[basic.fundamental]]. Objects shall not be defined to have an
|
| 63 |
incomplete type.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
A class type (such as “`class X`”) might be incomplete at one point in a
|
| 66 |
translation unit and complete later on; the type “`class X`” is the same
|
| 67 |
type at both points. The declared type of an array object might be an
|
|
|
|
| 85 |
typedef int UNKA[]; // UNKA is an incomplete type
|
| 86 |
UNKA* arrp; // arrp is a pointer to an incomplete type
|
| 87 |
UNKA** arrpp;
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
void foo() {
|
| 90 |
+
xp++; // error: X is incomplete
|
| 91 |
+
arrp++; // error: incomplete type
|
| 92 |
arrpp++; // OK: sizeof UNKA* is known
|
| 93 |
}
|
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
struct X { int i; }; // now X is a complete type
|
| 96 |
int arr[10]; // now the type of arr is complete
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
X x;
|
| 99 |
void bar() {
|
| 100 |
xp = &x; // OK; type is ``pointer to X''
|
| 101 |
+
arrp = &arr; // error: different types
|
| 102 |
xp++; // OK: X is complete
|
| 103 |
+
arrp++; // error: UNKA can't be completed
|
| 104 |
}

An *object type* is a (possibly cv-qualified) type that is not a
|
| 113 |
function type, not a reference type, and not cv `void`.
|
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
+
Arithmetic types [[basic.fundamental]], enumeration types, pointer
|
| 116 |
+
types, pointer-to-member types [[basic.compound]], `std::nullptr_t`, and
|
| 117 |
+
cv-qualified [[basic.type.qualifier]] versions of these types are
|
| 118 |
+
collectively called *scalar types*. Scalar types, trivially copyable
|
| 119 |
+
class types [[class.prop]], arrays of such types, and cv-qualified
|
| 120 |

versions of these types are collectively called *trivially copyable

types*. Scalar types, trivial class types [[class.prop]], arrays of such

types and cv-qualified versions of these types are collectively called

*trivial types*. Scalar types, standard-layout class types

implicit-lifetime class types [[class.prop]], array types, and

cv-qualified versions of these types are collectively called

*implicit-lifetime types*.

A type is a *literal type* if it is:
|
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
+
- cv `void`; or
|
| 133 |
- a scalar type; or
|
| 134 |
- a reference type; or
|
| 135 |
- an array of literal type; or
|
| 136 |
+
- a possibly cv-qualified class type [[class]] that has all of the
|
| 137 |
+
following properties:
|
| 138 |
+
- it has a constexpr destructor [[dcl.constexpr]],
|
| 139 |
+
- it is either a closure type [[expr.prim.lambda.closure]], an
|
| 140 |
+
aggregate type [[dcl.init.aggr]], or has at least one constexpr
|
| 141 |
+
constructor or constructor template (possibly inherited
|
| 142 |
+
[[namespace.udecl]] from a base class) that is not a copy or move
|
| 143 |
constructor,
|
| 144 |
- if it is a union, at least one of its non-static data members is of
|
| 145 |
non-volatile literal type, and
|
| 146 |
- if it is not a union, all of its non-static data members and base
|
| 147 |
classes are of non-volatile literal types.
|
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
[*Note 3*: A literal type is one for which it might be possible to
|
| 150 |
create an object within a constant expression. It is not a guarantee
|
| 151 |
that it is possible to create such an object, nor is it a guarantee that
|
| 152 |

any object of that type will be usable in a constant
|
| 153 |
expression. — *end note*]

Two types *cv1* `T1` and *cv2* `T2` are *layout-compatible* types if

`T1` and `T2` are the same type, layout-compatible enumerations

There are five *standard signed integer types* : “`signed char`”,
|
| 163 |
“`short int`”, “`int`”, “`long int`”, and “`long long int`”. In this
|
| 164 |
list, each type provides at least as much storage as those preceding it
|
| 165 |
in the list. There may also be *implementation-defined* *extended signed
|
| 166 |
integer types*. The standard and extended signed integer types are
|
| 167 |
+
collectively called *signed integer types*. The range of representable
|
| 168 |
+
values for a signed integer type is -2ᴺ⁻¹ to 2ᴺ⁻¹-1 (inclusive), where
|
| 169 |
+
*N* is called the *width* of the type.
|
| 170 |
+
|
| 171 |
+
[*Note 1*: Plain `int`s are intended to have the natural width
|
| 172 |
+
suggested by the architecture of the execution environment; the other
|
| 173 |
+
signed integer types are provided to meet special needs. — *end note*]
|
| 174 |
|
| 175 |
For each of the standard signed integer types, there exists a
|
| 176 |
corresponding (but different) *standard unsigned integer type*:
|
| 177 |
“`unsigned char`”, “`unsigned short int`”, “`unsigned int`”,
|
| 178 |
+
“`unsigned long int`”, and “`unsigned long long int`”. Likewise, for
|
| 179 |
+
each of the extended signed integer types, there exists a corresponding
|
| 180 |
+
*extended unsigned integer type*. The standard and extended unsigned
|
| 181 |
+
integer types are collectively called *unsigned integer types*. An
|
| 182 |
+
unsigned integer type has the same width *N* as the corresponding signed
|
| 183 |
+
integer type. The range of representable values for the unsigned type is
|
| 184 |
+
0 to 2ᴺ-1 (inclusive); arithmetic for the unsigned type is performed
|
| 185 |
+
modulo 2ᴺ.
|
| 186 |
+
|
| 187 |
+
[*Note 2*: Unsigned arithmetic does not overflow. Overflow for signed
|
| 188 |
+
arithmetic yields undefined behavior [[expr.pre]]. — *end note*]
|
| 189 |
+
|
| 190 |
+
An unsigned integer type has the same object representation, value
|
| 191 |
+
representation, and alignment requirements [[basic.align]] as the
|
| 192 |
+
corresponding signed integer type. For each value x of a signed integer
|
| 193 |
+
type, the value of the corresponding unsigned integer type congruent to
|
| 194 |
+
x modulo 2ᴺ has the same value of corresponding bits in its value
|
| 195 |
+
representation.[^22]
|
| 196 |
+
|
| 197 |
+
[*Example 1*: The value -1 of a signed integer type has the same
|
| 198 |
+
representation as the largest value of the corresponding unsigned
|
| 199 |
+
type. — *end example*]

The width of each signed integer type shall not be less than the values
|
| 213 |
+
specified in [[basic.fundamental.width]]. The value representation of a
|
| 214 |
+
signed or unsigned integer type comprises N bits, where N is the
|
| 215 |
+
respective width. Each set of values for any padding bits
|
| 216 |
+
[[basic.types]] in the object representation are alternative
|
| 217 |
+
representations of the value specified by the value representation.
|
| 218 |
+
|
| 219 |

[*Note 3*: Padding bits have unspecified value, but cannot cause traps.

|
| 225 |

Except as specified above, the width of a signed or unsigned integer
|
| 226 |
+
type is *implementation-defined*.
|
| 227 |
+
|
| 228 |
+
Each value x of an unsigned integer type with width N has a unique
|
| 229 |
+
representation $x = x_0 2^0 + x_1 2^1 + \ldots + x_{N-1} 2^{N-1}$, where
|
| 230 |
+
each coefficient xᵢ is either 0 or 1; this is called the *base-2
|
| 231 |
+
representation* of x. The base-2 representation of a value of signed
|
| 232 |
+
integer type is the base-2 representation of the congruent value of the
|
| 233 |
+
corresponding unsigned integer type. The standard signed integer types
|
| 234 |
+
and standard unsigned integer types are collectively called the
|
| 235 |
+
*standard integer types*, and the extended signed integer types and
|
| 236 |
+
extended unsigned integer types are collectively called the *extended
|
| 237 |
+
integer types*.
|
| 238 |
+
|
| 239 |
+
A fundamental type specified to have a signed or unsigned integer type
|
| 240 |
+
as its *underlying type* has the same object representation, value
|
| 241 |
+
representation, alignment requirements [[basic.align]], and range of
|
| 242 |
+
representable values as the underlying type. Further, each value has the
|
| 243 |
+
same representation in both types.

Type `char` is a distinct type that has an *implementation-defined*
|
| 246 |
+
choice of “`signed char`” or “`unsigned char`” as its underlying type.
|
| 247 |
+
The values of type `char` can represent distinct codes for all members
|
| 248 |
+
of the implementation’s basic character set. The three types `char`,
|
| 249 |
+
`signed char`, and `unsigned char` are collectively called *ordinary
|
| 250 |
+
character types*. The ordinary character types and `char8_t` are
|
| 251 |
+
collectively called *narrow character types*. For narrow character
|
| 252 |
+
types, each possible bit pattern of the object representation represents
|
| 253 |
+
a distinct value.
|
| 254 |
+
|
| 255 |
+
[*Note 5*: This requirement does not hold for other
|
| 256 |
+
types. — *end note*]
|
| 257 |
+
|
| 258 |
+
[*Note 6*: A bit-field of narrow character type whose width is larger
|
| 259 |
+
than the width of that type has padding bits; see
|
| 260 |
+
[[basic.types]]. — *end note*]
|
| 261 |
+
|
| 262 |
+
Type `wchar_t` is a distinct type that has an *implementation-defined*
|
| 263 |
+
signed or unsigned integer type as its underlying type. The values of
|
| 264 |
+
type `wchar_t` can represent distinct codes for all members of the
|
| 265 |
+
largest extended character set specified among the supported locales
|
| 266 |
+
[[locale]].
|
| 267 |
+
|
| 268 |
+
Type `char8_t` denotes a distinct type whose underlying type is
|
| 269 |
+
`unsigned char`. Types `char16_t` and `char32_t` denote distinct types
|
| 270 |
+
whose underlying types are `uint_least16_t` and `uint_least32_t`,
|
| 271 |
+
respectively, in `<cstdint>`.
|
| 272 |
+
|
| 273 |
+
Type `bool` is a distinct type that has the same object representation,
|
| 274 |
+
value representation, and alignment requirements as an
|
| 275 |
+
*implementation-defined* unsigned integer type. The values of type
|
| 276 |
+
`bool` are `true` and `false`.
|
| 277 |
+
|
| 278 |
+
[*Note 7*: There are no `signed`, `unsigned`, `short`, or `long bool`
|
| 279 |
types or values. — *end note*]
|
| 280 |
|
| 281 |
+
Types `bool`, `char`, `wchar_t`, `char8_t`, `char16_t`, `char32_t`, and
|
| 282 |
+
the signed and unsigned integer types are collectively called *integral
|
| 283 |
+
types*. A synonym for integral type is *integer type*.
|
| 284 |
|
| 285 |
+
[*Note 8*: Enumerations [[dcl.enum]] are not integral; however,
|
| 286 |
+
unscoped enumerations can be promoted to integral types as specified in
|
| 287 |
+
[[conv.prom]]. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 288 |
|
| 289 |
+
There are three *floating-point types*: `float`, `double`, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 290 |
`long double`. The type `double` provides at least as much precision as
|
| 291 |
`float`, and the type `long double` provides at least as much precision
|
| 292 |
as `double`. The set of values of the type `float` is a subset of the
|
| 293 |
set of values of the type `double`; the set of values of the type
|
| 294 |
`double` is a subset of the set of values of the type `long double`. The
|
| 295 |
value representation of floating-point types is
|
| 296 |
*implementation-defined*.
|
| 297 |
|
| 298 |
+
[*Note 9*: This document imposes no requirements on the accuracy of
|
| 299 |
+
floating-point operations; see also [[support.limits]]. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
+
Integral and floating-point types are collectively called *arithmetic*
|
| 302 |
+
types. Specializations of the standard library template
|
| 303 |
+
`std::numeric_limits` [[support.limits]] shall specify the maximum and
|
| 304 |
+
minimum values of each arithmetic type for an implementation.
|
| 305 |
|
| 306 |
A type cv `void` is an incomplete type that cannot be completed; such a
|
| 307 |
type has an empty set of values. It is used as the return type for
|
| 308 |
functions that do not return a value. Any expression can be explicitly
|
| 309 |
+
converted to type cv `void` ([[expr.type.conv]], [[expr.static.cast]],
|
| 310 |
+
[[expr.cast]]). An expression of type cv `void` shall be used only as an
|
| 311 |
+
expression statement [[stmt.expr]], as an operand of a comma expression
|
| 312 |
+
[[expr.comma]], as a second or third operand of `?:` [[expr.cond]], as
|
| 313 |
+
the operand of `typeid`, `noexcept`, or `decltype`, as the expression in
|
| 314 |
+
a `return` statement [[stmt.return]] for a function with the return type
|
| 315 |
cv `void`, or as the operand of an explicit conversion to type
|
| 316 |
cv `void`.
|
| 317 |
|
| 318 |
+
A value of type `std::nullptr_t` is a null pointer constant
|
| 319 |
+
[[conv.ptr]]. Such values participate in the pointer and the
|
| 320 |
+
pointer-to-member conversions ([[conv.ptr]], [[conv.mem]]).
|
| 321 |
`sizeof(std::nullptr_t)` shall be equal to `sizeof(void*)`.
|
| 322 |
|
| 323 |
+
The types described in this subclause are called *fundamental types*.
|
| 324 |
+
|
| 325 |
+
[*Note 10*: Even if the implementation defines two or more fundamental
|
| 326 |
+
types to have the same value representation, they are nevertheless
|
| 327 |
+
different types. — *end note*]
|
| 328 |
|
| 329 |
### Compound types <a id="basic.compound">[[basic.compound]]</a>
|
| 330 |
|
| 331 |
Compound types can be constructed in the following ways:
|
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
+
- *arrays* of objects of a given type, [[dcl.array]];
|
| 334 |
- *functions*, which have parameters of given types and return `void` or
|
| 335 |
+
references or objects of a given type, [[dcl.fct]];
|
| 336 |
- *pointers* to cv `void` or objects or functions (including static
|
| 337 |
+
members of classes) of a given type, [[dcl.ptr]];
|
| 338 |
+
- *references* to objects or functions of a given type, [[dcl.ref]].
|
| 339 |
There are two types of references:
|
| 340 |
+
- lvalue reference
|
| 341 |
+
- rvalue reference
|
| 342 |
+
- *classes* containing a sequence of objects of various types [[class]],
|
| 343 |
+
a set of types, enumerations and functions for manipulating these
|
| 344 |
+
objects [[class.mfct]], and a set of restrictions on the access to
|
| 345 |
+
these entities [[class.access]];
|
|
|
|
| 346 |
- *unions*, which are classes capable of containing objects of different
|
| 347 |
+
types at different times, [[class.union]];
|
| 348 |
- *enumerations*, which comprise a set of named constant values. Each
|
| 349 |
+
distinct enumeration constitutes a different *enumerated type*,
|
| 350 |
[[dcl.enum]];
|
| 351 |
+
- *pointers to non-static class members*, [^23] which identify members
|
| 352 |
+
of a given type within objects of a given class, [[dcl.mptr]].
|
| 353 |
+
Pointers to data members and pointers to member functions are
|
| 354 |
+
collectively called *pointer-to-member* types.
|
| 355 |
|
| 356 |
These methods of constructing types can be applied recursively;
|
| 357 |
+
restrictions are mentioned in [[dcl.meaning]]. Constructing a type such
|
| 358 |
+
that the number of bytes in its object representation exceeds the
|
| 359 |
+
maximum value representable in the type `std::size_t` [[support.types]]
|
| 360 |
+
is ill-formed.
|
| 361 |
|
| 362 |
The type of a pointer to cv `void` or a pointer to an object type is
|
| 363 |
called an *object pointer type*.
|
| 364 |
|
| 365 |
[*Note 1*: A pointer to `void` does not have a pointer-to-object type,
|
| 366 |
however, because `void` is not an object type. — *end note*]
|
| 367 |
|
| 368 |
The type of a pointer that can designate a function is called a
|
| 369 |
+
*function pointer type*. A pointer to an object of type `T` is referred
|
| 370 |
+
to as a “pointer to `T`”.
|
| 371 |
|
| 372 |
[*Example 1*: A pointer to an object of type `int` is referred to as
|
| 373 |
“pointer to `int`” and a pointer to an object of class `X` is called a
|
| 374 |
“pointer to `X`”. — *end example*]
|
| 375 |
|
| 376 |
Except for pointers to static members, text referring to “pointers” does
|
| 377 |
not apply to pointers to members. Pointers to incomplete types are
|
| 378 |
+
allowed although there are restrictions on what can be done with them
|
| 379 |
+
[[basic.align]]. Every value of pointer type is one of the following:
|
| 380 |
|
| 381 |
- a *pointer to* an object or function (the pointer is said to *point*
|
| 382 |
to the object or function), or
|
| 383 |
+
- a *pointer past the end of* an object [[expr.add]], or
|
| 384 |
+
- the *null pointer value* for that type, or
|
| 385 |
- an *invalid pointer value*.
|
| 386 |
|
| 387 |
A value of a pointer type that is a pointer to or past the end of an
|
| 388 |
+
object *represents the address* of the first byte in memory
|
| 389 |
+
[[intro.memory]] occupied by the object [^24] or the first byte in
|
| 390 |
memory after the end of the storage occupied by the object,
|
| 391 |
respectively.
|
| 392 |
|
| 393 |
+
[*Note 2*: A pointer past the end of an object [[expr.add]] is not
|
| 394 |
considered to point to an unrelated object of the object’s type that
|
| 395 |
might be located at that address. A pointer value becomes invalid when
|
| 396 |
the storage it denotes reaches the end of its storage duration; see
|
| 397 |
[[basic.stc]]. — *end note*]
|
| 398 |
|
| 399 |
+
For purposes of pointer arithmetic [[expr.add]] and comparison (
|
| 400 |
[[expr.rel]], [[expr.eq]]), a pointer past the end of the last element
|
| 401 |
of an array `x` of n elements is considered to be equivalent to a
|
| 402 |
+
pointer to a hypothetical array element n of `x` and an object of type
|
| 403 |
+
`T` that is not an array element is considered to belong to an array
|
| 404 |
+
with one element of type `T`. The value representation of pointer types
|
| 405 |
+
is *implementation-defined*. Pointers to layout-compatible types shall
|
| 406 |
+
have the same value representation and alignment requirements
|
| 407 |
+
[[basic.align]].
|
| 408 |
|
| 409 |
+
[*Note 3*: Pointers to over-aligned types [[basic.align]] have no
|
| 410 |
special representation, but their range of valid values is restricted by
|
| 411 |
the extended alignment requirement. — *end note*]
|
| 412 |
|
| 413 |
Two objects *a* and *b* are *pointer-interconvertible* if:
|
| 414 |
|
| 415 |
- they are the same object, or
|
| 416 |
+
- one is a union object and the other is a non-static data member of
|
| 417 |
+
that object [[class.union]], or
|
| 418 |
- one is a standard-layout class object and the other is the first
|
| 419 |
non-static data member of that object, or, if the object has no
|
| 420 |
+
non-static data members, any base class subobject of that object
|
| 421 |
+
[[class.mem]], or
|
| 422 |
- there exists an object *c* such that *a* and *c* are
|
| 423 |
pointer-interconvertible, and *c* and *b* are
|
| 424 |
pointer-interconvertible.
|
| 425 |
|
| 426 |
If two objects are pointer-interconvertible, then they have the same
|
| 427 |
address, and it is possible to obtain a pointer to one from a pointer to
|
| 428 |
+
the other via a `reinterpret_cast` [[expr.reinterpret.cast]].
|
| 429 |
|
| 430 |
[*Note 4*: An array object and its first element are not
|
| 431 |
pointer-interconvertible, even though they have the same
|
| 432 |
address. — *end note*]
|
| 433 |
|
| 434 |
+
A pointer to cv `void` can be used to point to objects of unknown type.
|
| 435 |
+
Such a pointer shall be able to hold any object pointer. An object of
|
| 436 |
+
type cv `void*` shall have the same representation and alignment
|
| 437 |
+
requirements as cv `char*`.
|
|
|
|
| 438 |
|
| 439 |
### CV-qualifiers <a id="basic.type.qualifier">[[basic.type.qualifier]]</a>
|
| 440 |
|
| 441 |
A type mentioned in [[basic.fundamental]] and [[basic.compound]] is a
|
| 442 |
*cv-unqualified type*. Each type which is a cv-unqualified complete or
|
| 443 |
+
incomplete object type or is `void` [[basic.types]] has three
|
| 444 |
corresponding cv-qualified versions of its type: a *const-qualified*
|
| 445 |
version, a *volatile-qualified* version, and a
|
| 446 |
+
*const-volatile-qualified* version. The type of an object
|
| 447 |
+
[[intro.object]] includes the *cv-qualifier*s specified in the
|
| 448 |
+
*decl-specifier-seq* [[dcl.spec]], *declarator* [[dcl.decl]], *type-id*
|
| 449 |
+
[[dcl.name]], or *new-type-id* [[expr.new]] when the object is created.
|
|
|
|
| 450 |
|
| 451 |
- A *const object* is an object of type `const T` or a non-mutable
|
| 452 |
+
subobject of a const object.
|
| 453 |
+
- A *volatile object* is an object of type `volatile T` or a subobject
|
| 454 |
+
of a volatile object.
|
| 455 |
- A *const volatile object* is an object of type `const volatile T`, a
|
| 456 |
+
non-mutable subobject of a const volatile object, a const subobject of
|
| 457 |
+
a volatile object, or a non-mutable volatile subobject of a const
|
| 458 |
object.
|
| 459 |
|
| 460 |
The cv-qualified or cv-unqualified versions of a type are distinct
|
| 461 |
types; however, they shall have the same representation and alignment
|
| 462 |
+
requirements [[basic.align]].[^25]
|
| 463 |
|
| 464 |
+
Except for array types, a compound type [[basic.compound]] is not
|
| 465 |
+
cv-qualified by the cv-qualifiers (if any) of the types from which it is
|
| 466 |
+
compounded.
|
|
|
|
| 467 |
|
| 468 |
+
An array type whose elements are cv-qualified is also considered to have
|
| 469 |
+
the same cv-qualifications as its elements.
|
| 470 |
+
|
| 471 |
+
[*Note 1*: Cv-qualifiers applied to an array type attach to the
|
| 472 |
+
underlying element type, so the notation “cv `T`”, where `T` is an array
|
| 473 |
+
type, refers to an array whose elements are so-qualified
|
| 474 |
+
[[dcl.array]]. — *end note*]
|
| 475 |
+
|
| 476 |
+
[*Example 1*:
|
| 477 |
+
|
| 478 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 479 |
+
typedef char CA[5];
|
| 480 |
+
typedef const char CC;
|
| 481 |
+
CC arr1[5] = { 0 };
|
| 482 |
+
const CA arr2 = { 0 };
|
| 483 |
+
```
|
| 484 |
+
|
| 485 |
+
The type of both `arr1` and `arr2` is “array of 5 `const char`”, and the
|
| 486 |
+
array type is considered to be const-qualified.
|
| 487 |
+
|
| 488 |
+

|
| 489 |
+

|
| 491 |
+
types that have *cv-qualifier*s. — *end note*]
|
| 492 |
|
| 493 |
There is a partial ordering on cv-qualifiers, so that a type can be said
|
| 494 |
+
to be *more cv-qualified* than another. [[basic.type.qualifier.rel]]
|
| 495 |
+
shows the relations that constitute this ordering.

In this document, the notation cv (or *cv1*, *cv2*, etc.), used in the
|
| 509 |
+
description of types, represents an arbitrary set of cv-qualifiers,
|
| 510 |
+
i.e., one of {`const`}, {`volatile`}, {`const`, `volatile`}, or the
|
| 511 |
+
empty set. For a type cv `T`, the *top-level cv-qualifiers* of that type
|
| 512 |
+
are those denoted by cv.
|
| 513 |
|
| 514 |
+
[*Example 2*: The type corresponding to the *type-id* `const int&` has
|
| 515 |
no top-level cv-qualifiers. The type corresponding to the *type-id*
|
| 516 |
`volatile int * const` has the top-level cv-qualifier `const`. For a
|
| 517 |
class type `C`, the type corresponding to the *type-id*
|
| 518 |
`void (C::* volatile)(int) const` has the top-level cv-qualifier
|
| 519 |
`volatile`. — *end example*]

### Integer conversion rank <a id="conv.rank">[[conv.rank]]</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 522 |
|
| 523 |
+
Every integer type has an *integer conversion rank* defined as follows:
|
| 524 |
|
| 525 |
+
- No two signed integer types other than `char` and `signed
|
| 526 |
+
char` (if `char` is signed) shall have the same rank, even if they
|
| 527 |
+
have the same representation.
|
| 528 |
+
- The rank of a signed integer type shall be greater than the rank of
|
| 529 |
+
any signed integer type with a smaller width.
|
| 530 |
+
- The rank of `long long int` shall be greater than the rank of
|
| 531 |
+
`long int`, which shall be greater than the rank of `int`, which shall
|
| 532 |
+
be greater than the rank of `short int`, which shall be greater than
|
| 533 |
+
the rank of `signed char`.
|
| 534 |
+
- The rank of any unsigned integer type shall equal the rank of the
|
| 535 |
+
corresponding signed integer type.
|
| 536 |
+
- The rank of any standard integer type shall be greater than the rank
|
| 537 |
+
of any extended integer type with the same width.
|
| 538 |
+
- The rank of `char` shall equal the rank of `signed char` and
|
| 539 |
+
`unsigned char`.
|
| 540 |
+
- The rank of `bool` shall be less than the rank of all other standard
|
| 541 |
+
integer types.
|
| 542 |
+
- The ranks of `char8_t`, `char16_t`, `char32_t`, and `wchar_t` shall
|
| 543 |
+
equal the ranks of their underlying types [[basic.fundamental]].
|
| 544 |
+
- The rank of any extended signed integer type relative to another
|
| 545 |
+
extended signed integer type with the same width is
|
| 546 |
+
*implementation-defined*, but still subject to the other rules for
|
| 547 |
+
determining the integer conversion rank.
|
| 548 |
+
- For all integer types `T1`, `T2`, and `T3`, if `T1` has greater rank
|
| 549 |
+
than `T2` and `T2` has greater rank than `T3`, then `T1` shall have
|
| 550 |
+
greater rank than `T3`.
|
| 551 |
|
| 552 |
+
[*Note 1*: The integer conversion rank is used in the definition of the
|
| 553 |
+
integral promotions [[conv.prom]] and the usual arithmetic conversions
|
| 554 |
+
[[expr.arith.conv]]. — *end note*]
