std::is_final is a UnaryTypeTrait.

If T is a final class, provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

If T is an incomplete class type, the behavior is undefined.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_final or std::is_final_v(since C++17), the behavior is undefined.

true if T is a final class type, false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool, returns value

[edit] Notes

std::is_final is introduced by the resolution of LWG issue 2112.

A union can be declared final (and std::is_final will detect that), even though unions cannot be used as bases in any case.

[edit] Example

#include <type_traits>
 
class A {};
static_assert(std::is_final_v<A> == false);
 
class B final {};
static_assert(std::is_final_v<B> == true);
 
union U final
{
    int x;
    double d;
};
static_assert(std::is_final_v<U> == true);
 
int main()
{
}
