Constructs a new pair.

1) Default constructor. Value-initializes both elements of the pair, first and second .

This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_default_constructible_v < T1 > and std:: is_default_constructible_v < T2 > are both true .

This constructor is explicit if and only if either T1 or T2 is not implicitly default-constructible.

(since C++11)
2) Initializes first with x and second with y .

This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_copy_constructible_v < T1 > and std:: is_copy_constructible_v < T2 > are both true .

This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < const T1 & , T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < const T2 & , T2 > is false .

(since C++11)
3) Initializes first with std:: forward < U1 > ( x ) and second with std:: forward < U2 > ( y ) .
This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_constructible_v < T1, U1 > and std:: is_constructible_v < T2, U2 > are both true .
This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < U1, T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < U2, T2 > is false .

This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object .

(since C++23)
4) Initializes first with p. first and second with p. second .
This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_constructible_v < T1, U1 & > and std:: is_constructible_v < T2, U2 & > are both true .
This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < U1 & , T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < U2 & , T2 > is false .
This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object.
5) Initializes first with p. first and second with p. second .

This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_constructible_v < T1, const U1 & > and std:: is_constructible_v < T2, const U2 & > are both true .

This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < const U1 & , T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < const U2 & , T2 > is false .

(since C++11)

This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object.

(since C++23)
6) Initializes first with std:: forward < U1 > ( p. first ) and second with std:: forward < U2 > ( p. second ) .
This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_constructible_v < T1, U1 > and std:: is_constructible_v < T2, U2 > are both true .
This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < U1, T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < U2, T2 > is false .

This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object.

(since C++23)
7) Initializes first with std:: forward < const U1 > ( p. first ) and second with std:: forward < const U2 > ( p. second ) .
This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if std:: is_constructible_v < T1, U1 > and std:: is_constructible_v < T2, U2 > are both true .
This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < const U1, T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < const U2, T2 > is false .
This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object.
8) Given u1 as std :: get < 0 > ( std:: forward ( u ) ) and u2 as std :: get < 1 > ( std:: forward ( u ) ) , denote their types as U1 and U2 respectively. Initializes first with u1 and second with u2 .
This constructor participates in overload resolution if and only if
This constructor is explicit if and only if std:: is_convertible_v < U1, T1 > is false or std:: is_convertible_v < U2, T2 > is false .
This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of first or second would bind a reference to temporary object.
9) Forwards the elements of first_args to the constructor of first and forwards the elements of second_args to the constructor of second . This is the only non-default constructor that can be used to create a pair of non-copyable non-movable types. The program is ill-formed if first or second is a reference and bound to a temporary object.
10) Copy constructor is implicitly declared (until C++11) defaulted, and is constexpr if copying of both elements satisfies the requirements on constexpr functions (since C++11) .
11) Move constructor is defaulted, and is constexpr if moving of both elements satisfies the requirements on constexpr functions.

Parameters

x - value to initialize the first element of this pair
y - value to initialize the second element of this pair
p - pair of values used to initialize both elements of this pair
u - pair-like object of values used to initialize both elements of this pair
first_args - tuple of constructor arguments to initialize the first element of this pair
second_args - tuple of constructor arguments to initialize the second element of this pair

Exceptions

Does not throw exceptions unless one of the specified operations (e.g. constructor of an element) throws.

Example

#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <tuple>
#include <utility>
 
int main()
{
    auto print = [](auto rem, auto const& pair)
    {
        std::cout << rem << "(" << pair.first << ", " << pair.second << ")\n";
    };
 
    std::pair<int, float> p1;
    print("(1) Value-initialized: ", p1);
 
    std::pair<int, double> p2{42, 3.1415};
    print("(2) Initialized with two values: ", p2);
 
    std::pair<char, int> p4{p2};
    print("(4) Implicitly converted: ", p4);
 
    std::pair<std::complex<double>, std::string> p6
        {std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple(0.123, 7.7),
            std::forward_as_tuple(10, 'a')};
    print("(8) Piecewise constructed: ", p6);
}

Possible output:

(1) Value-initialized: (0, 0)
(2) Initialized with two values: (42, 3.1415)
(4) Implicitly converted: (*, 3)
(8) Piecewise constructed: ((0.123,7.7), aaaaaaaaaa)

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 265 C++98 the default constructor copy-initialized first
and second with T1 ( ) and T2 ( ) respectively
(thus required T1 and T2 to be CopyConstructible )
first and second
are value-initialized
LWG 2510 C++11 the default constructor was implicit made conditionally-explicit
N4387 C++11 some constructors were implicit-only, preventing some uses constructors made conditionally-explicit
