std:: integer_sequence

The class template std::integer_sequence represents a compile-time sequence of integers. When used as an argument to a function template , the parameter pack Ints can be deduced and used in pack expansion.

Helper templates

A helper alias template std::index_sequence is defined for the common case where T is std::size_t :

Helper alias templates std::make_integer_sequence and std::make_index_sequence are defined to simplify creation of std::integer_sequence and std::index_sequence types, respectively, with ​ 0 ​ , 1 , 2 , ... , N - 1 as Ints :

The program is ill-formed if N is negative. If N is zero, the indicated type is integer_sequence<T> .

A helper alias template std::index_sequence_for is defined to convert any type parameter pack into an index sequence of the same length:
