[*Note 1*: [[basic.types]] and the subclauses thereof impose
|
| 6 |
requirements on implementations regarding the representation of types.
|
| 7 |
There are two kinds of types: fundamental types and compound types.
|
| 8 |
Types describe objects [[intro.object]], references [[dcl.ref]], or
|
| 9 |
functions [[dcl.fct]]. — *end note*]
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For any object (other than a potentially-overlapping subobject) of
|
| 12 |
trivially copyable type `T`, whether or not the object holds a valid
|
| 13 |
value of type `T`, the underlying bytes [[intro.memory]] making up the
|
| 14 |
object can be copied into an array of `char`, `unsigned char`, or
|
| 15 |
+
`std::byte` [[cstddef.syn]].[^14]
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
If the content of that array is copied back into the object, the object
|
| 18 |
+
shall subsequently hold its original value.
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[*Example 1*:
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
``` cpp
|
| 23 |
constexpr std::size_t N = sizeof(T);

`T` is the set of bits that participate in representing a value of type
|
| 56 |
`T`. Bits in the object representation that are not part of the value
|
| 57 |
representation are *padding bits*. For trivially copyable types, the
|
| 58 |
value representation is a set of bits in the object representation that
|
| 59 |
determines a *value*, which is one discrete element of an
|
| 60 |
+
*implementation-defined* set of values.[^16]
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
A class that has been declared but not defined, an enumeration type in
|
| 63 |
certain contexts [[dcl.enum]], or an array of unknown bound or of
|
| 64 |
+
incomplete element type, is an *incompletely-defined object type*.[^17]
|
| 65 |
+
|
| 66 |
Incompletely-defined object types and cv `void` are *incomplete types*
|
| 67 |
+
[[basic.fundamental]].

|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
A class type (such as “`class X`”) can be incomplete at one point in a
|
| 73 |
translation unit and complete later on; the type “`class X`” is the same
|
| 74 |
+
type at both points. The declared type of an array object can be an
|
| 75 |
array of incomplete class type and therefore incomplete; if the class
|
| 76 |
type is completed later on in the translation unit, the array type
|
| 77 |
becomes complete; the array type at those two points is the same type.
|
| 78 |
+
The declared type of an array object can be an array of unknown bound
|
| 79 |
and therefore be incomplete at one point in a translation unit and
|
| 80 |
complete later on; the array types at those two points (“array of
|
| 81 |
+
unknown bound of `T`” and “array of `N` `T`”) are different types.
|
| 82 |
+
|
| 83 |
+
[*Note 3*: The type of a pointer or reference to array of unknown bound
|
| 84 |
+
permanently points to or refers to an incomplete type. An array of
|
| 85 |
+
unknown bound named by a `typedef` declaration permanently refers to an
|
| 86 |
+
incomplete type. In either case, the array type cannot be
|
| 87 |
+
completed. — *end note*]

contexts incomplete types are prohibited. — *end note*]
|
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
An *object type* is a (possibly cv-qualified) type that is not a
|
| 123 |
function type, not a reference type, and not cv `void`.
|
| 124 |
|
|
|
|
| 144 |
- a reference type; or
|
| 145 |
- an array of literal type; or
|
| 146 |
- a possibly cv-qualified class type [[class]] that has all of the
|
| 147 |
following properties:
|
| 148 |
- it has a constexpr destructor [[dcl.constexpr]],
|
| 149 |
+
- all of its non-static non-variant data members and base classes are
|
| 150 |
+
of non-volatile literal types, and
|
| 151 |
+
- it
|
| 152 |
+
- is a closure type [[expr.prim.lambda.closure]],
|
| 153 |
+
- is an aggregate union type that has either no variant members or
|
| 154 |
+
at least one variant member of non-volatile literal type,
|
| 155 |
+
- is a non-union aggregate type for which each of its anonymous
|
| 156 |
+
union members satisfies the above requirements for an aggregate
|
| 157 |
+
union type, or
|
| 158 |
+
- has at least one constexpr constructor or constructor template
|
| 159 |
+
(possibly inherited [[namespace.udecl]] from a base class) that is
|
| 160 |
+
not a copy or move constructor.
|
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
+
[*Note 5*: A literal type is one for which it might be possible to
|
| 163 |
create an object within a constant expression. It is not a guarantee
|
| 164 |
that it is possible to create such an object, nor is it a guarantee that
|
| 165 |
any object of that type will be usable in a constant

| 166 |
expression. — *end note*]

Two types *cv1* `T1` and *cv2* `T2` are *layout-compatible types* if
|
| 169 |
`T1` and `T2` are the same type, layout-compatible enumerations

### Fundamental types <a id="basic.fundamental">[[basic.fundamental]]</a>
|
|
|
|
| 203 |
An unsigned integer type has the same object representation, value
|
| 204 |
representation, and alignment requirements [[basic.align]] as the
|
| 205 |
corresponding signed integer type. For each value x of a signed integer
|
| 206 |
type, the value of the corresponding unsigned integer type congruent to
|
| 207 |
x modulo 2ᴺ has the same value of corresponding bits in its value
|
| 208 |
+
representation.[^18]
|
| 209 |
|
| 210 |
[*Example 1*: The value -1 of a signed integer type has the same
|
| 211 |
representation as the largest value of the corresponding unsigned
|
| 212 |
type. — *end example*]

|
| 224 |
|
| 225 |
The width of each signed integer type shall not be less than the values
|
| 226 |
specified in [[basic.fundamental.width]]. The value representation of a
|
| 227 |
signed or unsigned integer type comprises N bits, where N is the
|
| 228 |
respective width. Each set of values for any padding bits
|
| 229 |
+
[[basic.types.general]] in the object representation are alternative
|
| 230 |
representations of the value specified by the value representation.
|
| 231 |
|
| 232 |
[*Note 3*: Padding bits have unspecified value, but cannot cause traps.

In contrast, see ISO C 6.2.6.2. — *end note*]

representable values as the underlying type. Further, each value has the
|
| 256 |
same representation in both types.
|
| 257 |
|
| 258 |
Type `char` is a distinct type that has an *implementation-defined*
|
| 259 |
choice of “`signed char`” or “`unsigned char`” as its underlying type.
|
| 260 |
+
The three types `char`, `signed char`, and `unsigned char` are
|
| 261 |
+
collectively called *ordinary character types*. The ordinary character
|
| 262 |
+
types and `char8_t` are collectively called *narrow character types*.
|
| 263 |
+
For narrow character types, each possible bit pattern of the object
|
| 264 |
+
representation represents a distinct value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 265 |
|
| 266 |
[*Note 5*: This requirement does not hold for other
|
| 267 |
types. — *end note*]
|
| 268 |
|
| 269 |
[*Note 6*: A bit-field of narrow character type whose width is larger
|
| 270 |
than the width of that type has padding bits; see
|
| 271 |
+
[[basic.types.general]]. — *end note*]
|
| 272 |
|
| 273 |
Type `wchar_t` is a distinct type that has an *implementation-defined*

signed or unsigned integer type as its underlying type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 275 |
|
| 276 |
Type `char8_t` denotes a distinct type whose underlying type is
|
| 277 |
`unsigned char`. Types `char16_t` and `char32_t` denote distinct types
|
| 278 |
whose underlying types are `uint_least16_t` and `uint_least32_t`,
|
| 279 |
respectively, in `<cstdint>`.
|
|
|
|
| 284 |
`bool` are `true` and `false`.

|
| 286 |
[*Note 7*: There are no `signed`, `unsigned`, `short`, or `long bool`
|
| 287 |
types or values. — *end note*]
|
| 288 |
|
| 289 |
+
The types `char`, `wchar_t`, `char8_t`, `char16_t`, and `char32_t` are
|
| 290 |
+
collectively called *character types*. The character types, `bool`, the
|
| 291 |
+
signed and unsigned integer types, and cv-qualified versions
|
| 292 |
+
[[basic.type.qualifier]] thereof, are collectively termed *integral
|
| 293 |
types*. A synonym for integral type is *integer type*.
|
| 294 |
|
| 295 |
[*Note 8*: Enumerations [[dcl.enum]] are not integral; however,
|
| 296 |
unscoped enumerations can be promoted to integral types as specified in
|
| 297 |
[[conv.prom]]. — *end note*]
|
| 298 |
|
| 299 |
+
The three distinct types `float`, `double`, and `long double` can
|
| 300 |
+
represent floating-point numbers. The type `double` provides at least as
|
| 301 |
+
much precision as `float`, and the type `long double` provides at least
|
| 302 |
+
as much precision as `double`. The set of values of the type `float` is
|
| 303 |
+
a subset of the set of values of the type `double`; the set of values of
|
| 304 |
+
the type `double` is a subset of the set of values of the type
|
| 305 |
+
`long double`. The types `float`, `double`, and `long double`, and
|
| 306 |
+
cv-qualified versions [[basic.type.qualifier]] thereof, are collectively
|
| 307 |
+
termed *standard floating-point types*. An implementation may also
|
| 308 |
+
provide additional types that represent floating-point values and define
|
| 309 |
+
them (and cv-qualified versions thereof) to be *extended floating-point
|
| 310 |
+
types*. The standard and extended floating-point types are collectively
|
| 311 |
+
termed *floating-point types*.
|
| 312 |
+
|
| 313 |
+
[*Note 9*: Any additional implementation-specific types representing
|
| 314 |
+
floating-point values that are not defined by the implementation to be
|
| 315 |
+
extended floating-point types are not considered to be floating-point
|
| 316 |
+
types, and this document imposes no requirements on them or their
|
| 317 |
+
interactions with floating-point types. — *end note*]
|
| 318 |

|
| 319 |
+
Except as specified in [[basic.extended.fp]], the object and value
|
| 320 |
+
representations and accuracy of operations of floating-point types are
|
| 321 |
*implementation-defined*.
|
| 322 |
|
| 323 |
+
Integral and floating-point types are collectively termed *arithmetic
|
| 324 |
+
types*.
|
| 325 |
|
| 326 |
+
[*Note 10*: Properties of the arithmetic types, such as their minimum

and maximum representable value, can be queried using the facilities in

the standard library headers `<limits>`, `<climits>`, and

A type cv `void` is an incomplete type that cannot be completed; such a
|
| 332 |
type has an empty set of values. It is used as the return type for
|
| 333 |
functions that do not return a value. Any expression can be explicitly
|
| 334 |
+
converted to type cv `void`
|
| 335 |
+
[[expr.type.conv]], [[expr.static.cast]], [[expr.cast]]. An expression
|
| 336 |
+
of type cv `void` shall be used only as an expression statement
|
| 337 |
+
[[stmt.expr]], as an operand of a comma expression [[expr.comma]], as a
|
| 338 |
+
second or third operand of `?:` [[expr.cond]], as the operand of
|
| 339 |
+
`typeid`, `noexcept`, or `decltype`, as the expression in a `return`
|
| 340 |
+
statement [[stmt.return]] for a function with the return type cv `void`,
|
| 341 |
+
or as the operand of an explicit conversion to type cv `void`.
|
| 342 |
|
| 343 |
A value of type `std::nullptr_t` is a null pointer constant
|
| 344 |
[[conv.ptr]]. Such values participate in the pointer and the
|
| 345 |
+
pointer-to-member conversions [[conv.ptr]], [[conv.mem]].
|
| 346 |
`sizeof(std::nullptr_t)` shall be equal to `sizeof(void*)`.

is defined in the header `<stdfloat>` and names such a type, the macro

| 387 |
+
storage width in bits (k) of 16, precision in bits (p) of 8, maximum

[[basic.extended.fp]]. The precision p includes the implicit 1 bit at

the beginning of the mantissa, so the storage used for the mantissa is
|
| 397 |

the extended floating-point types described in this subsection that are
|
| 413 |
+
in addition to the names defined in the `<stdfloat>` header should be
|
| 414 |
+
chosen to increase compatibility and interoperability with the
|
| 415 |

interchange types `_Float16`, `_Float32`, `_Float64`, and `_Float128`
|
| 416 |
+
defined in ISO/IEC TS 18661-3 and with future versions of the C

### Compound types <a id="basic.compound">[[basic.compound]]</a>
|
| 420 |
|
| 421 |
Compound types can be constructed in the following ways:
|
| 422 |
|
| 423 |
- *arrays* of objects of a given type, [[dcl.array]];
|
|
|
|
| 433 |
a set of types, enumerations and functions for manipulating these
|
| 434 |
objects [[class.mfct]], and a set of restrictions on the access to
|
| 435 |
these entities [[class.access]];
|
| 436 |
- *unions*, which are classes capable of containing objects of different
|
| 437 |
types at different times, [[class.union]];
|
| 438 |
+
- *enumerations*, which comprise a set of named constant values,
|
|
|
|
| 439 |
[[dcl.enum]];
|
| 440 |
+
- *pointers to non-static class members*,[^19] which identify members of
|
| 441 |
+
a given type within objects of a given class, [[dcl.mptr]]. Pointers
|
| 442 |
+
to data members and pointers to member functions are collectively
|
| 443 |
+
called *pointer-to-member* types.
|
| 444 |
|
| 445 |
These methods of constructing types can be applied recursively;
|
| 446 |
restrictions are mentioned in [[dcl.meaning]]. Constructing a type such
|
| 447 |
that the number of bytes in its object representation exceeds the
|
| 448 |
maximum value representable in the type `std::size_t` [[support.types]]
|
|
|
|
| 473 |
- the *null pointer value* for that type, or
|
| 474 |
- an *invalid pointer value*.
|
| 475 |
|
| 476 |
A value of a pointer type that is a pointer to or past the end of an
|
| 477 |
object *represents the address* of the first byte in memory
|
| 478 |
+
[[intro.memory]] occupied by the object[^20]
|
| 479 |
+
|
| 480 |
+
or the first byte in memory after the end of the storage occupied by the
|
| 481 |
+
object, respectively.
|
| 482 |
|
| 483 |
[*Note 2*: A pointer past the end of an object [[expr.add]] is not
|
| 484 |
+
considered to point to an unrelated object of the object’s type, even if
|
| 485 |
+
the unrelated object is located at that address. A pointer value becomes
|
| 486 |
+
invalid when the storage it denotes reaches the end of its storage
|
| 487 |
+
duration; see [[basic.stc]]. — *end note*]
|
| 488 |
|
| 489 |
+
For purposes of pointer arithmetic [[expr.add]] and comparison
|
| 490 |
+
[[expr.rel]], [[expr.eq]], a pointer past the end of the last element of
|
| 491 |
+
an array `x` of n elements is considered to be equivalent to a pointer
|
| 492 |
+
to a hypothetical array element n of `x` and an object of type `T` that
|
| 493 |
+
is not an array element is considered to belong to an array with one
|
| 494 |
+
element of type `T`. The value representation of pointer types is
|
| 495 |
+
*implementation-defined*. Pointers to layout-compatible types shall have
|
| 496 |
+
the same value representation and alignment requirements
|
| 497 |
[[basic.align]].
|
| 498 |
|
| 499 |
[*Note 3*: Pointers to over-aligned types [[basic.align]] have no
|
| 500 |
special representation, but their range of valid values is restricted by
|
| 501 |
the extended alignment requirement. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
| 504 |
|
| 505 |
- they are the same object, or
|
| 506 |
- one is a union object and the other is a non-static data member of
|
| 507 |
that object [[class.union]], or
|
| 508 |
- one is a standard-layout class object and the other is the first
|
| 509 |
+
non-static data member of that object or any base class subobject of
|
| 510 |
+
that object [[class.mem]], or
|
|
|
|
| 511 |
- there exists an object *c* such that *a* and *c* are
|
| 512 |
pointer-interconvertible, and *c* and *b* are
|
| 513 |
pointer-interconvertible.
|
| 514 |
|
| 515 |
If two objects are pointer-interconvertible, then they have the same
|
|
|
|
| 518 |
|
| 519 |
[*Note 4*: An array object and its first element are not
|
| 520 |
pointer-interconvertible, even though they have the same
|
| 521 |
address. — *end note*]
|
| 522 |
|
| 523 |
+
A byte of storage *b* is *reachable through* a pointer value that points
|
| 524 |
+
to an object *x* if there is an object *y*, pointer-interconvertible
|
| 525 |
+
with *x*, such that *b* is within the storage occupied by *y*, or the
|
| 526 |
+
immediately-enclosing array object if *y* is an array element.
|
| 527 |
+
|
| 528 |
A pointer to cv `void` can be used to point to objects of unknown type.
|
| 529 |
Such a pointer shall be able to hold any object pointer. An object of
|
| 530 |
+
type “pointer to cv `void`” shall have the same representation and
|
| 531 |
+
alignment requirements as an object of type “pointer to cv `char`”.
|
| 532 |
|
| 533 |
### CV-qualifiers <a id="basic.type.qualifier">[[basic.type.qualifier]]</a>
|
| 534 |
|
| 535 |
+
Each type other than a function or reference type is part of a group of
|
| 536 |
+
four distinct, but related, types: a *cv-unqualified* version, a
|
| 537 |
+
*const-qualified* version, a *volatile-qualified* version, and a
|
| 538 |
+
*const-volatile-qualified* version. The types in each such group shall
|
| 539 |
+
have the same representation and alignment requirements
|
| 540 |
+
[[basic.align]].[^21]
|
| 541 |
+
|
| 542 |
+
A function or reference type is always cv-unqualified.
|
|
|
|
| 543 |
|
| 544 |
- A *const object* is an object of type `const T` or a non-mutable
|
| 545 |
subobject of a const object.
|
| 546 |
- A *volatile object* is an object of type `volatile T` or a subobject
|
| 547 |
of a volatile object.
|
| 548 |
- A *const volatile object* is an object of type `const volatile T`, a
|
| 549 |
non-mutable subobject of a const volatile object, a const subobject of
|
| 550 |
a volatile object, or a non-mutable volatile subobject of a const
|
| 551 |
object.
|
| 552 |
|
| 553 |
+
[*Note 1*: The type of an object [[intro.object]] includes the
|
| 554 |
+
*cv-qualifier*s specified in the *decl-specifier-seq* [[dcl.spec]],
|
| 555 |
+
*declarator* [[dcl.decl]], *type-id* [[dcl.name]], or *new-type-id*
|
| 556 |
+
[[expr.new]] when the object is created. — *end note*]
|
| 557 |
|
| 558 |
Except for array types, a compound type [[basic.compound]] is not
|
| 559 |
cv-qualified by the cv-qualifiers (if any) of the types from which it is
|
| 560 |
compounded.
|
| 561 |
|
| 562 |
An array type whose elements are cv-qualified is also considered to have
|
| 563 |
the same cv-qualifications as its elements.
|
| 564 |
|
| 565 |
+
[*Note 2*: Cv-qualifiers applied to an array type attach to the
|
| 566 |
underlying element type, so the notation “cv `T`”, where `T` is an array
|
| 567 |
type, refers to an array whose elements are so-qualified
|
| 568 |
[[dcl.array]]. — *end note*]
|
| 569 |
|
| 570 |
[*Example 1*:
|
|
|
|
| 579 |
The type of both `arr1` and `arr2` is “array of 5 `const char`”, and the
|
| 580 |
array type is considered to be const-qualified.
|
| 581 |
|
| 582 |
— *end example*]
|
| 583 |
|
| 584 |
+
[*Note 3*: See [[dcl.fct]] and [[over.match.funcs]] regarding
|
| 585 |
+
function types that have *cv-qualifier*s. — *end note*]
|
| 586 |
|
| 587 |
There is a partial ordering on cv-qualifiers, so that a type can be said
|
| 588 |
to be *more cv-qualified* than another. [[basic.type.qualifier.rel]]
|
| 589 |
shows the relations that constitute this ordering.
|
| 590 |
|
|
|
|
| 610 |
`volatile int * const` has the top-level cv-qualifier `const`. For a
|
| 611 |
class type `C`, the type corresponding to the *type-id*
|
| 612 |
`void (C::* volatile)(int) const` has the top-level cv-qualifier
|
| 613 |
`volatile`. — *end example*]
|
| 614 |
|
| 615 |
+
### Conversion ranks <a id="conv.rank">[[conv.rank]]</a>
|
| 616 |
|
| 617 |
Every integer type has an *integer conversion rank* defined as follows:
|
| 618 |
|
| 619 |
- No two signed integer types other than `char` and `signed
|
| 620 |
+
char` (if `char` is signed) have the same rank, even if they have the
|
| 621 |
+
same representation.
|
| 622 |
+
- The rank of a signed integer type is greater than the rank of any
|
| 623 |
+
signed integer type with a smaller width.
|
| 624 |
+
- The rank of `long long int` is greater than the rank of `long int`,
|
| 625 |
+
which is greater than the rank of `int`, which is greater than the
|
| 626 |
+
rank of `short int`, which is greater than the rank of `signed char`.
|
| 627 |
+
- The rank of any unsigned integer type equals the rank of the
|
|
|
|
| 628 |
corresponding signed integer type.
|
| 629 |
+
- The rank of any standard integer type is greater than the rank of any
|
| 630 |
+
extended integer type with the same width.
|
| 631 |
+
- The rank of `char` equals the rank of `signed char` and
|
| 632 |
`unsigned char`.
|
| 633 |
+
- The rank of `bool` is less than the rank of all standard integer
|
| 634 |
+
types.
|
| 635 |
+
- The ranks of `char8_t`, `char16_t`, `char32_t`, and `wchar_t` equal
|
| 636 |
+
the ranks of their underlying types [[basic.fundamental]].
|
| 637 |
- The rank of any extended signed integer type relative to another
|
| 638 |
extended signed integer type with the same width is
|
| 639 |
*implementation-defined*, but still subject to the other rules for
|
| 640 |
determining the integer conversion rank.
|
| 641 |
- For all integer types `T1`, `T2`, and `T3`, if `T1` has greater rank
|
| 642 |
+
than `T2` and `T2` has greater rank than `T3`, then `T1` has greater
|
| 643 |
+
rank than `T3`.
|
| 644 |
|
| 645 |
[*Note 1*: The integer conversion rank is used in the definition of the
|
| 646 |
integral promotions [[conv.prom]] and the usual arithmetic conversions
|
| 647 |
[[expr.arith.conv]]. — *end note*]
|
| 648 |
|
| 649 |
+
Every floating-point type has a *floating-point conversion rank* defined
|
| 650 |
+
as follows:
|
| 651 |
+
|
| 652 |
+
- The rank of a floating point type `T` is greater than the rank of any
|
| 653 |
+
floating-point type whose set of values is a proper subset of the set
|
| 654 |
+
of values of `T`.
|
| 655 |
+
- The rank of `long double` is greater than the rank of `double`, which
|
| 656 |
+
is greater than the rank of `float`.
|
| 657 |
+
- Two extended floating-point types with the same set of values have
|
| 658 |
+
equal ranks.
|
| 659 |
+
- An extended floating-point type with the same set of values as exactly
|
| 660 |
+
one cv-unqualified standard floating-point type has a rank equal to
|
| 661 |
+
the rank of that standard floating-point type.
|
| 662 |
+
- An extended floating-point type with the same set of values as more
|
| 663 |
+
than one cv-unqualified standard floating-point type has a rank equal
|
| 664 |
+
to the rank of `double`.
|
| 665 |
+
|
| 666 |
+
[*Note 2*: The conversion ranks of floating-point types `T1` and `T2`
|
| 667 |
+
are unordered if the set of values of `T1` is neither a subset nor a
|
| 668 |
+
superset of the set of values of `T2`. This can happen when one type has
|
| 669 |
+
both a larger range and a lower precision than the other. — *end note*]
|
| 670 |
+
|
| 671 |
+
Floating-point types that have equal floating-point conversion ranks are
|
| 672 |
+
ordered by floating-point conversion subrank. The subrank forms a total
|
| 673 |
+
order among types with equal ranks. The types `std::float16_t`,
|
| 674 |
+
`std::float32_t`, `std::float64_t`, and `std::float128_t`
|
| 675 |
+
[[stdfloat.syn]] have a greater conversion subrank than any standard
|
| 676 |
+
floating-point type with equal conversion rank. Otherwise, the
|
| 677 |
+
conversion subrank order is *implementation-defined*.
|
| 678 |
+
|
| 679 |
+
[*Note 3*: The floating-point conversion rank and subrank are used in
|
| 680 |
+
the definition of the usual arithmetic conversions
|
| 681 |
+
[[expr.arith.conv]]. — *end note*]
