Standard library header <tuple>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the general utility library.

Classes

(C++11)
implements fixed size container, which holds elements of possibly different types
(class template)
obtains the size of tuple at compile time
(class template specialization)
obtains the type of the specified element
(class template specialization)
specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait
(class template specialization)

Constants

placeholder to skip an element when unpacking a tuple using tie
(constant)

Functions

creates a tuple object of the type defined by the argument types
(function template)
creates a tuple of lvalue references or unpacks a tuple into individual objects
(function template)
creates a tuple of rvalue references
(function template)
creates a tuple by concatenating any number of tuples
(function template)
tuple accesses specified element
(function template)
lexicographically compares the values in the tuple
(function template)
specializes the std::swap algorithm
(function template)
(C++17)
calls a function with a tuple of arguments
(function template)
Construct an object with a tuple of arguments
(function template)
