Defined in header <type_traits>
template< class T >
struct is_fundamental;
(since C++11)

std::is_fundamental is a UnaryTypeTrait.

If T is a fundamental type (that is, arithmetic type, void, or nullptr_t), provides the member constant value equal true. For any other type, value is false.

If the program adds specializations for std::is_fundamental or std::is_fundamental_v, the behavior is undefined.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if T is a fundamental type, false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool, returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std::integral_constant<bool, value>

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class T>
struct is_fundamental
    : std::integral_constant<
        bool,
        std::is_arithmetic<T>::value ||
        std::is_void<T>::value ||
        std::is_same<std::nullptr_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
        // you can also use 'std::is_null_pointer<T>::value' instead in C++14
> {};

[edit] Example

#include <type_traits>
 
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<int> == true);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<int&> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<int*> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<void> == true);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<void*> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<float> == true);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<float&> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<float*> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<std::nullptr_t> == true);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<std::is_fundamental<int>> == false);
 
class A {};
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<A> == false);
static_assert(std::is_fundamental_v<std::is_fundamental<A>::value_type>);
 
int main() {}
