Type `T` must be a complete type. In other words, inherits from __true_type only if copy assignment of `T` from `const T &` is not marked with `= delete`, `T` does not derives from `boost::noncopyable` and is not marked with `BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(T)`. __compat Requires the C++11 features `decltype` and SFINAE-expressions for full support. If your compiler does not support C++11 deleted functions (`= delete`) or does not support SFINAE for the deleted assignments, then derive your classes from `boost::noncopyable` or mark them with `BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(T)` to show that class is non-assignable. Trait does not care about access modifiers, so if you see errors like this: 'T::operator=(const T&)' is private boost/type_traits/is_copy_assignable.hpp:68:5: error: within this context then you are trying to call that macro for a structure with private assignment: struct T { // ... private: T &operator=(const T &); // ... }; To fix that you must modify your structure, explicitly marking it as noncopyable (`= delete`, `boost::noncopyable` or `BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(T)`) or explicitly [link boost_typetraits.user_defined specializing the trait]. __header ` #include ` or ` #include ` [endsect]
