//
// Define a small subset of tr1 type traits. The traits we define are:
//   is_integral
//   is_floating_point
//   is_pointer
//   is_enum
//   is_reference
//   is_pod
//   has_trivial_constructor
//   has_trivial_copy
//   has_trivial_assign
//   has_trivial_destructor
//   remove_const
//   remove_volatile
//   remove_cv
//   remove_reference
//   add_reference
//   remove_pointer
//   is_same
//   is_convertible
// We can add more type traits as required.

// Changes from the original implementation:
//  - Move base types from template_util.h directly into this header.
//  - Use Qt macros for long long type differences on Windows.
//  - Enclose in QtPrivate namespace.
