Type `T` must be a complete type. In other words, inherits from __true_type only if copy constructor of `T` not marked with `= delete`, `T` does not derives from `boost::noncopyable` and does not marked with `BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(T)`. __compat This trait requires the C++11 features `decltype` and SFINAE-expression support for full support. If your compiler does not support C++11 deleted functions (`= delete`) or does not support SFINAE for the deleted constructors, then derive your classes from `boost::noncopyable` or mark them with `BOOST_MOVABLE_BUT_NOT_COPYABLE(T)` to show that class is noncopyable. The trait does not care about access modifiers, so if you see errors like this: 'T::T(const T&)' is private boost/type_traits/is_copy_constructible.hpp:68:5: error: within this context then you are trying to call that macro for a structure with private constructor: struct T { // ... private: T(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 specialize trait]. __header ` #include ` or ` #include ` [endsect]
