These two traits are synonyms for each other. If a type has a trivial default-constructor then the constructor have no effect: calls to the constructor can be safely omitted. Note that using meta-programming to omit a call to a single trivial-constructor call is of no benefit whatsoever. However, if loops and/or exception handling code can also be omitted, then some benefit in terms of code size and speed can be obtained. __compat Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler, has_trivial_constructor will never report that a user-defined class or struct has a trivial constructor; this is always safe, if possibly sub-optimal. In addition, in order to correctly handle private or deleted default-constructors then C++11's `deltype` is required. Currently (May 2015) compilers more recent than Visual C++ 8, GCC-4.3, Greenhills 6.0, Intel-11.0, and Codegear have the necessary compiler __intrinsics to ensure that this trait "just works". You may also test to see if the necessary __intrinsics are available by checking to see if the macro `BOOST_HAS_TRIVIAL_CONSTRUCTOR` is defined. __std_ref 12.1p6. __header ` #include ` or ` #include ` __examples [:`has_trivial_constructor` inherits from `__true_type`.] [:`has_trivial_constructor::type` is the type `__true_type`.] [:`has_trivial_constructor::value` is an integral constant expression that evaluates to /true/.] [:`has_trivial_constructor::value` is an integral constant expression that evaluates to /false/.] [:`has_trivial_constructor::value_type` is the type `bool`.] [endsect]
