Hi,

is there something in Boost.TypeTraits (or somewhere else) that allows me to check if a type is a boost::optional?

I'd like to do something like this:

template<typename T> typename enable_if, T::value_type>::type foo(const T&);

You can use is_instance_of from lambda library (see boost/lambda/detail/is_instance_of.hpp). It's not part of public interface though, so use it on your own risk.

template <class T> struct is_boost_optional : boost::lambda::is_instance_of_1 {}

This seems to work, too: // ------------------------------------------------------------- template class is_boost_optional { public: static const bool value = false; }; template <typename T> class is_boost_optional < T, typename boost::enable_if < boost::is_same < boost::optional<typename T::value_type>, T > >::type > { public: static const bool value = true; }; // ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Roland
