This is to be expected, because is_assignable is the most general assignable trait. Your compile-time query is equivalent to asking whether the expression 12 = 13; is well-formed. Use std::is_assignable<int&,int>::value to test for assigning an int rvalue to a mutable int lvalue. Or even better, use std::is_copy_assignable<int> > static_assert( is_assignable<int&,int&&>::value, "not assignable" ); // pass This works because this corresponds to assigning an int rvalue to an int. > static_assert( is_assignable<WW,WW>::value, "not assignable" ); // pass This is to be expected, because rvalues of classes can act as lvalues when they call a member function. > static_assert( is_assignable<QQ,QQ>::value, "not assignable" ); // <---- pass! Same thing as with WW. > static_assert( is_assignable<QQ&,QQ&&>::value, "not assignable" ); // pass Also valid, you try to assign an rvalue of Q to a mutable lvalue. I see no defects here.
