struct tuple_size < std:: tuple < Types... > >

: std:: integral_constant < std:: size_t , sizeof... ( Types ) > { } ;
(since C++11)

Provides access to the number of elements in a tuple as a compile-time constant expression.

Helper variable template

template < class T >
constexpr std:: size_t tuple_size_v = tuple_size < T > :: value ;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std:: integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
sizeof...(Types)
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator std::size_t
converts the object to std:: size_t , returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type std:: size_t
type std:: integral_constant < std:: size_t , value >

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
 
template <class T>
void test(T value)
{
    int a[std::tuple_size_v<T>]; // can be used at compile time
 
    std::cout << std::tuple_size<T>{} << ' ' // or at run time
              << sizeof a << ' '
              << sizeof value << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    test(std::make_tuple(1, 2, 3.14));
}

Possible output:

3 12 16
