### add_rvalue_reference

    template <class T>
    struct add_rvalue_reference
    {
       typedef see-below type;
    };

type: If `T` names an object or function type then the member typedef type shall name `T&&`; otherwise, type shall name `T`. [Note: This rule reflects the semantics of reference collapsing. For example, when a type `T` names a type U&, the type `add_rvalue_reference<T>::type` is not an rvalue reference. -end note].

C++ Standard Reference: 20.7.6.2.

Compiler Compatibility: If the compiler does not support partial specialization of class-templates and rvalue references then this template will compile, but the member `type` will always be the same as type `T`.

Header: `#include <boost/type_traits/add_rvalue_reference.hpp>` or `#include <boost/type_traits.hpp>`
