### has_nothrow_constructor

    template <class T>
    struct has_nothrow_constructor : public true_type-or-false_type {};

    template <class T>
    struct has_nothrow_default_constructor : public true_type-or-false_type {};

Inherits: If T is a (possibly cv-qualified) type with a non-throwing default-constructor then inherits from true_type, otherwise inherits from false_type. Type `T` must be a complete type.

These two traits are synonyms for each other.

Compiler Compatibility: If the compiler does not support partial-specialization of class templates, then this template can not be used with function types.

Without some (as yet unspecified) help from the compiler, `has_nothrow_constructor` will never report that a class or struct has a non-throwing default-constructor; this is always safe, if possibly sub-optimal. Currently (May 2005) only Visual C++ 8 has the necessary compiler intrinsics to ensure that this trait "just works".
