Constructs a new tuple.

1) Default constructor. Value-initializes all elements.

2) Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding parameter.

3) Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding value in std::forward<Utypes>(args).

4) For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::get<i>(other).

5) For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::forward<Ui>(std::get<i>(other)).

6) Constructs a 2-element tuple with the first element constructed from p.first and the second element from p.second

7) Constructs a 2-element tuple with the first element constructed from std::forward<U1>(p.first) and the second element from std::forward<U2>(p.second)

8) Compiler-generated copy constructor. Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding element of other

9) Compiler-generated move constructor. Initializes each ith element of the tuple with std::forward<Ui>(std::get<i>(other)).

10 - 18) Identical to 1-9 except each element is created by uses-allocator construction, that is, the Allocator object a is passed as an additional argument to the constructor of each element for which std::uses_allocator<Ui, Alloc>::value is true.

[edit] Parameters

args - values used to initialize each element of the tuple
other - a tuple of values used to initialize each element of the tupe
p - pair of values used to initialize both elements of this 2-tuple
a - allocator to use in uses-allocator construction

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <tuple>
#include <memory>
 
// helper function to print a tuple of any size
template<class Tuple, std::size_t N>
struct TuplePrinter {
    static void print(const Tuple& t) 
    {
        TuplePrinter<Tuple, N-1>::print(t);
        std::cout << ", " << std::get<N-1>(t);
    }
};
 
template<class Tuple>
struct TuplePrinter<Tuple, 1>{
    static void print(const Tuple& t) 
    {
        std::cout << std::get<0>(t);
    }
};
 
template<class... Args>
void print(const std::tuple<Args...>& t) 
{
    std::cout << "(";
    TuplePrinter<decltype(t), sizeof...(Args)>::print(t);
    std::cout << ")\n";
}
// end helper function
 
int main()
{
    std::tuple<int, std::string, double> t1;
    std::cout << "Value-initialized: "; print(t1);
    std::tuple<int, std::string, double> t2(42, "Test", -3.14);
    std::cout << "Initialized with values: "; print(t2);
    std::tuple<char, std::string, int> t3(t2);
    std::cout << "Implicitly converted: "; print(t3);
    std::tuple<int, double> t4(std::make_pair(42, 3.14));
    std::cout << "Constructed from a pair"; print(t4);
 
    // given Allocator my_alloc with a single-argument constructor my_alloc(int)
    // use my_alloc(1) to allocate 10 ints in a vector
    std::vector<int, my_alloc> v(10, 1, my_alloc(1));
    // use my_alloc(2) to allocate 10 ints in a vector in a tuple
    std::tuple<int, std::vector<int, my_alloc>, double> t5(std::allocator_arg,
                                                           my_alloc(2), 42, v,  -3.14);
}

Output:

Value-initialized: (0, , 0)
Initialized with values: (42, Test, -3.14)
Implicitly converted: (*, Test, -3)
Constructed from a pair(42, 3.14)
