<span class="bold"><strong>Inherits:</strong></span> If T is a (possibly cv-qualified)
type with a trivial assignment-operator then inherits from <a class="link" href="integral_constant.html" title="integral_constant">true_type</a>,
otherwise inherits from <a class="link" href="integral_constant.html" title="integral_constant">false_type</a>.
</p>
<p>
If a type has a trivial assignment-operator then the operator has the same
effect as copying the bits of one object to the other: calls to the operator
can be safely replaced with a call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">memcpy</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Compiler Compatibility:</strong></span> If the compiler
does not support partial-specialization of class templates, then this template
can not be used with function types.
</p>
<p>
Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler, has_trivial_assign
will never report that a user-defined class or struct has a trivial constructor;
this is always safe, if possibly sub-optimal. Currently (May 2005) only MWCW
9 and Visual C++ 8 have the necessary compiler <a class="link" href="../intrinsics.html" title="Support for Compiler Intrinsics">intrinsics</a>
to detect user-defined classes with trivial constructors.
