# std::numeric_limits::has_infinity

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | types‎ | numeric limits

static const bool has_infinity; |  | (until C++11)
static constexpr bool has_infinity; |  | (since C++11)

The value of std::numeric_limits<T>::has_infinity is true for all types `T` capable of representing the positive infinity as a distinct special value. This constant is meaningful for all floating-point types and is guaranteed to be true if std::numeric_limits<T>::is_iec559 == true.
