template<class T> struct tuple_size;

Except where specified otherwise, all specializations of tuple_size meet the Cpp17UnaryTypeTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]) with a base characteristic of integral_constant<size_t, N> for some N.

🔗

template<class. Types>
  struct tuple_size<tuple<Types..> : integral_constant<size_t, sizeof.(Types)> { };

🔗

template<size_t I, class. Types>
  struct tuple_element<I, tuple<Types..> {
    using type = TI;
  };

Result: TI is the type of the

I {th element of Types, where indexing is zero-based .}^{th element of Types, where indexing is zero-based .}

🔗

template<class T> struct tuple_size<const T>;

Let TS denote tuple_size<T> of the cv-unqualified type T.

If the expression TS::value is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand, then each specialization of the template meets the Cpp17UnaryTypeTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]) with a base characteristic of integral_constant<size_t, TS::value>

Otherwise, it has no member value.

Access checking is performed as if in a context unrelated to TS and T.

Only the validity of the immediate context of the expression is considered.

[Note 1:

The compilation of the expression can result in side effects such as the instantiation of class template specializations and function template specializations, the generation of implicitly-defined functions, and so on.

Such side effects are not in the “immediate context” and can result in the program being ill-formed.

In addition to being available via inclusion of the <tuple> header, the template is available when any of the headers <array>, <complex>, <ranges>, or <utility> are included.

🔗

template<size_t I, class T> struct tuple_element<I, const T>;

Let TE denote tuple_element_t<I, T> of the cv-unqualified type T.

Then each specialization of the template meets the Cpp17TransformationTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]) with a member typedef type that names the type const TE.

In addition to being available via inclusion of the <tuple> header, the template is available when any of the headers <array>, <complex>, <ranges>, or <utility> are included.
