template< class T >
struct is_copy_assignable;
(1) (since C++11)

 Type trait  The value of the member constant value
T is a referenceable type  T is not a referenceable type 
(1) std::is_assignable<T, const T&>::value false
(2) std::is_trivially_assignable<T, const T&>::value
(3) std::is_nothrow_assignable<T, const T&>::value

If T is not a complete type, (possibly cv-qualified) void, or an array of unknown bound, the behavior is undefined.

If an instantiation of a template above depends, directly or indirectly, on an incomplete type, and that instantiation could yield a different result if that type were hypothetically completed, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for any of the templates described on this page, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class T>
struct is_copy_assignable
    : std::is_assignable<typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
                         typename std::add_lvalue_reference<const T>::type> {};
 
template<class T>
struct is_trivially_copy_assignable
    : std::is_trivially_assignable<typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
                                   typename std::add_lvalue_reference<const T>::type> {};
 
template<class T>
struct is_nothrow_copy_assignable
    : std::is_nothrow_assignable<typename std::add_lvalue_reference<T>::type,
                                 typename std::add_lvalue_reference<const T>::type> {};

[edit] Notes

The trait std::is_copy_assignable is less strict than CopyAssignable because it does not check the type of the result of the assignment (which, for a CopyAssignable type, must be an lvalue of type T) and does not check the semantic requirement that the argument expression remains unchanged. It also does not check that T satisfies MoveAssignable, which is required of all CopyAssignable types.

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
#include <utility>
 
struct Foo { int n; };
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha
              << "Foo is trivially copy-assignable? "
              << std::is_trivially_copy_assignable<Foo>::value << '\n'
              << "int[2] is copy-assignable? "
              << std::is_copy_assignable<int[2]>::value << '\n'
              << "int is nothrow copy-assignable? "
              << std::is_nothrow_copy_assignable<int>::value << '\n';
}

Output:

Foo is trivially copy-assignable? true
int[2] is copy-assignable? false
int is nothrow copy-assignable? true
