        >
    struct identity
    {
        typedef X type;

.. parsed-literal::
    
    #include <boost/mpl/identity.hpp>


Model of

|Metafunction|


Parameters
----------

+---------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Parameter     | Requirement       | Description                       |
+===============+===================+===================================+
| ``X``         | Any type          | An argument to be returned.       |
+---------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------+


Expression semantics
--------------------

For an arbitrary type ``x``:


.. parsed-literal::

    typedef identity<x>::type r;

:Return type:
    A type.

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to
    
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        typedef x r;


:Postcondition:
    ``is_same<r,x>::value == true``.
    
    

Example
-------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    typedef apply< identity<_1>, char >::type t1;
    typedef apply< identity<_2>, char,int >::type t2;
    
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< t1, char > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< t2, int > ));
