<tuple> functions

apply

template <class F, class Tuple> constexpr decltype(auto) apply(F&& f, Tuple&& t);

Remarks

Calls function F with a tuple t.

forward_as_tuple

template <class... TTypes>
    constexpr tuple<TTypes&&...> forward_as_tuple(TTypes&&...) noexcept;

Return Value

Returns tuple<TTypes&&...>(std::forward<TTypes>(t)...).

Remarks

Constructs a tuple of references to the arguments in t suitable for forwarding as arguments to a function.

get

Gets an element from a tuple object, by index or (in C++14) by type.

// by index:
// get reference to Index element of tuple
template <size_t Index, class... Types>
   constexpr tuple_element_t<Index, tuple<Types...>>& get(tuple<Types...>& Tuple) noexcept;

// get const reference to Index element of tuple
template <size_t Index, class... Types>
   constexpr const tuple_element_t<Index, tuple<Types...>>& get(const tuple<Types...>& Tuple) noexcept;

// get rvalue reference to Index element of tuple
template <size_t Index, class... Types>
   constexpr tuple_element_t<Index, tuple<Types...>>&& get(tuple<Types...>&& Tuple) noexcept;

// (C++14) by type:
// get reference to T element of tuple
template <class T, class... Types>
   constexpr T& get(tuple<Types...>& Tuple) noexcept;

// get const reference to T element of tuple
template <class T, class... Types>
   constexpr const T& get(const tuple<Types...>& Tuple) noexcept;

// get rvalue reference to T element of tuple
template <class T, class... Types>
   constexpr T&& get(tuple<Types...>&& Tuple) noexcept;

Parameters

Index
The index of the element to get.

Types
The sequence of types declared in the tuple, in declaration order.

T
The type of the element to get.

Tuple
A std::tuple that contains any number of elements.

Remarks

The template functions return a reference to the value at index Index, or of type T in the tuple object.

Calling get<T>(Tuple) will produce a compiler error if Tuple contains more or less than one element of type T.

Example

#include <tuple>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    tuple<int, double, string> tup(0, 1.42, "Call me Tuple");

    // get elements by index
    cout << " " << get<0>(tup);
    cout << " " << get<1>(tup);
    cout << " " << get<2>(tup) << endl;

    // get elements by type
    cout << " " << get<int>(tup);
    cout << " " << get<double>(tup);
    cout << " " << get<string>(tup) << endl;
}

make_from_tuple

template <class T, class Tuple> constexpr T make_from_tuple(Tuple&& t);

Remarks

Same as return make_from_tuple_impl<T>(forward<Tuple>(t), make_index_sequence<tuple_size_v<decay_t<Tuple>>>{}).

make_tuple

Makes a tuple from element values.

template <class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>
   tuple<V1, V2, ..., VN> make_tuple(const T1& t1, const T2& t2, ..., const TN& tN);

Parameters

TN
The type of the Nth function parameter.

tN
The value of the Nth function parameter.

Remarks

The template function returns tuple<V1, V2, ..., VN>(t1, t2, ..., tN), where each type Vi is X& when the corresponding type Ti is cv reference_wrapper<X>; otherwise, it is Ti.

One advantage of make_tuple is that the types of objects that are being stored are determined automatically by the compiler and do not have to be explicitly specified. Don't use explicit template arguments such as make_tuple<int, int>(1, 2) when you use make_tuple because it is unnecessarily verbose and adds complex rvalue reference problems that might cause compilation failure.

Example

// std__tuple__make_tuple.cpp
// compile by using: /EHsc
#include <tuple>
#include <iostream>

typedef std::tuple<int, double, int, double> Mytuple;
int main() {
    Mytuple c0(0, 1, 2, 3);

// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
    std::cout << std::get<0>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<1>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<2>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<3>(c0) << std::endl;

    c0 = std::make_tuple(4, 5, 6, 7);

// display contents " 4 5 6 7"
    std::cout << std::get<0>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<1>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<2>(c0) << " ";
    std::cout << std::get<3>(c0) << std::endl;

    return (0);
}

swap

template <class... Types>
    void swap(tuple<Types...>& x, tuple<Types...>& y) noexcept(see below );

tie

Makes a tuple from element references.

template <class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>
tuple<T1&, T2&, ..., TN&> tie(T1& t1, T2& t2, ..., TN& tN);

Parameters

TN
The base type of the Nth tuple element.

Remarks

The template function returns tuple<T1&, T2&, ..., TN&>(t1, t2, ..., tN).

Example

// std__tuple__tie.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <tuple>
#include <iostream>

typedef std::tuple<int, double, int, double> Mytuple;
int main() {
    Mytuple c0(0, 1, 2, 3);

// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
    std::cout << " " << std::get<0>(c0);
    std::cout << " " << std::get<1>(c0);
    std::cout << " " << std::get<2>(c0);
    std::cout << " " << std::get<3>(c0);
    std::cout << std::endl;

    int v4 = 4;
    double v5 = 5;
    int v6 = 6;
    double v7 = 7;
    std::tie(v4, v5, v6, v7) = c0;

// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
    std::cout << " " << v4;
    std::cout << " " << v5;
    std::cout << " " << v6;
    std::cout << " " << v7;
    std::cout << std::endl;

    return (0);
}

tuple_cat

template <class... Tuples> constexpr tuple<CTypes...> tuple_cat(Tuples&&...);

tuple_element_t

template <size_t I, class T>
    using tuple_element_t = typename tuple_element<I, T>::type;
