void\_
======
Synopsis
--------
.. parsed-literal::
struct void\_
{
typedef void\_ type;
};
template< typename T > struct is_void;
Description
-----------
``void_`` is a generic type placeholder representing "nothing".
.. In many cases, returning ``void_`` from a metafunction to signal
an absence of the requested data leads to a simpler user code than
having a separate metafunction specifically for the purpose of
performing the corresponding check.
Header
------
.. parsed-literal::
#include <boost/mpl/void.hpp>
