Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T >
struct is_copy_constructible;
(1) (since C++11)
template< class T >
struct is_trivially_copy_constructible;
(2) (since C++11)
template< class T >
struct is_nothrow_copy_constructible;
(3) (since C++11)

1) Checks whether a type is CopyConstructible, i.e. has an accessible explicit or implicit copy constructor. If the requirement is met, a member constant value equal true is provided, otherwise value is false.

2) Same as (1), but the copy constructor expression does not call any operation that is not trivial.

3) Same as (1), but the copy constructor expression is noexcept.

[edit] Possible implementation

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
struct Ex1 {
    std::string str; // member has a non-trivial copy ctor
};
struct Ex2 {
    int n;
    Ex2(const Ex2&) = default; // trivial and non-throwing
};
 
int main() {
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "Ex1 is copy-constructible? "
              << std::is_copy_constructible<Ex1>::value << '\n'
              << "Ex1 is trivially copy-constructible? "
              << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<Ex1>::value << '\n'
              << "Ex2 is trivially copy-constructible? "
              << std::is_trivially_copy_constructible<Ex2>::value << '\n'
              << "Ex2 is nothrow copy-constructible? "
              << std::is_nothrow_copy_constructible<Ex2>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

Ex1 is copy-constructible? true
Ex1 is trivially copy-constructible? false
Ex2 is trivially copy-constructible? true
Ex2 is nothrow copy-constructible? true
