:mrdocs:

This `struct` provides a meta‐function that computes, at compile time, whether the (template parameter) `t_TYPE` is an enumerated type. It derives from `bsl::true_type` if `t_TYPE` is an enumerated type, and from `bsl::false_type` otherwise.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslmf_isenum.h>`

== Description

Enumerated types are the only user‐defined types that have the characteristics of a native arithmetic type (i.e., they can be converted to an integral type without invoking user‐defined conversions). This class takes advantage of this property to distinguish `enum` types from class types that are convertible to an integral or enumerated type.
