std:: make_from_tuple

From cppreference.com

Relational operators (deprecated in C++20)
Defined in header <tuple>
template < class T, class Tuple >
constexpr T make_from_tuple ( Tuple && t ) ;
(since C++17)
(until C++23)
template < class T, tuple - like Tuple >
constexpr T make_from_tuple ( Tuple && t ) ;
(since C++23)

Construct an object of type T , using the elements of the tuple t as the arguments to the constructor.

Given the exposition-only function /*make-from-tuple-impl*/ defined as follows:
template < class T, tuple-like Tuple, std:: size_t ... I > // no constraint on Tuple before C++23
constexpr T /*make-from-tuple-impl*/ ( Tuple && t, std:: index_sequence < I... > )
{
return T ( std :: get < I > ( std:: forward < Tuple > ( t ) ) ... ) ;
}

The effect is equivalent to:
return /*make-from-tuple-impl*/ < T > (
std:: forward < Tuple > ( t ) ,
std:: make_index_sequence < std:: tuple_size_v < std:: remove_reference_t < Tuple >>> { }
) ;
.

If

(since C++23)

the program is ill-formed.

Parameters

t - tuple whose elements to be used as arguments to the constructor of T

Return value

The constructed T object or reference.

Notes

Tuple need not be std::tuple , and instead may be anything that supports std::get and std::tuple_size ; in particular, std::array and std::pair may be used.

(until C++23)

Tuple is constrained to be tuple-like, i.e. each type therein is required to be a specialization of std::tuple or another type (such as std::array and std::pair ) that models tuple-like .

(since C++23)

Due to guaranteed copy elision , T need not be movable.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
 
struct Foo
{
    Foo(int first, float second, int third)
    {
        std::cout << first << ", " << second << ", " << third << '\n';
    }
};
 
int main()
{
    auto tuple = std::make_tuple(42, 3.14f, 0);
    std::make_from_tuple<Foo>(std::move(tuple));
}

Output:

42, 3.14, 0
