std::tuple_size<std::pair>
From cppreference.com
Defined in header <utility>
|
||
template< class T1, class T2 > struct tuple_size<std::pair<T1, T2>> |
(since C++11) | |
The partial specialization of std::tuple_size for pairs provides a compile-time way to obtain the number of elements in a pair, which is always 2, using tuple-like syntax.
Inherited from std::integral_constant
Member constants
value [static] |
the constant value 2 (public static member constant) |
Member functions
operator std::size_t |
converts the object to std::size_t, returns value (public member function) |
operator() (C++14) |
returns value (public member function) |
Member types
Type | Definition |

|
std::size_t |

|
std::integral_constant<std::size_t, value> |
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <tuple> #include <utility> template<class T> void test([[maybe_unused]]T t) { [[maybe_unused]] int a[std::tuple_size<T>::value]; // can be used at compile time std::cout << std::tuple_size<T>::value << '\n'; // or at run time } int main() { test(std::make_tuple(1, 2, 3.14)); test(std::make_pair(1, 3.14)); }
Output:
3 2
