std::make_unsigned(3)

NAME
std::make_unsigned - std::make_unsigned

Synopsis
   Defined in header <type_traits>
   template< class T > (since C++11)
   struct make_unsigned;
   If T is an integral (except bool) or enumeration type, provides the member typedef
   type which is the unsigned integer type corresponding to T, with the same
   cv-qualifiers.
   If T is signed or unsigned char, short, int, long, long long; the unsigned type from
   this list corresponding to T is provided.
   If T is an enumeration type or char, wchar_t,
   char8_t
   (since C++20), char16_t, char32_t; the unsigned integer type with the smallest rank
   having the same sizeof as T is provided.
   Otherwise, the behavior is undefined. (until C++20)
   Otherwise, the program is ill-formed. (since C++20)
   The behavior of a program that adds specializations for make_unsigned is undefined.

Member types
   Name Definition
   type the unsigned integer type corresponding to T

Helper types
   template< class T > (since C++14)
   using make_unsigned_t = typename make_unsigned<T>::type;

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <type_traits>
 int main() {
     typedef std::make_unsigned<char>::type char_type;
     typedef std::make_unsigned<int>::type int_type;
     typedef std::make_unsigned<volatile long>::type long_type;
     bool ok1 = std::is_same<char_type, unsigned char>::value;
     bool ok2 = std::is_same<int_type, unsigned int>::value;
     bool ok3 = std::is_same<long_type, volatile unsigned long>::value;
     std::cout << std::boolalpha
     << "char_type is 'unsigned char'? : " << ok1 << '\n'
     << "int_type is 'unsigned int'? : " << ok2 << '\n'
     << "long_type is 'volatile unsigned long'? : " << ok3 << '\n';
 }

Output:
 char_type is 'unsigned char'? : true
 int_type is 'unsigned int'? : true
 long_type is 'volatile unsigned long'? : true
