Constructs a new tuple.

1) Default constructor. Value-initializes all elements, if any. The default constructor is trivial if sizeof...(Types) == 0.
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_default_constructible<Ti>::value is true for all i
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if Ti is not copy-list-initializable from {} for at least one i.
2) Direct constructor. Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding parameter.
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if sizeof...(Types) >= 1 and std::is_copy_constructible<Ti>::value is true for all i.
  • This constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible<const Ti&, Ti>::value is false for at least one i.
3) Converting constructor. Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding value in std::forward<UTypes>(args).
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible<Ui, Ti>::value is false for at least one i.
(since C++23)
4) Converting copy-constructor. For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::get<i>(other).
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible_v<Ui&, Ti> is false for at least one i.
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
5) Converting copy-constructor. For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::get<i>(other).
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible<const Ui&, Ti>::value is false for at least one i.
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
(since C++23)
6) Converting move-constructor. For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::forward<Ui>(std::get<i>(other)).
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible<Ui, Ti>::value is false for at least one i.
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
(since C++23)
7) Converting move-constructor. For all i in sizeof...(UTypes), initializes ith element of the tuple with std::forward<const Ui>(std::get<i>(other)).
  • This overload participates in overload resolution only if
  • The constructor is explicit if and only if std::is_convertible_v<const Ui, Ti> is false for at least one i.
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
8) Pair copy constructor. Constructs a 2-element tuple with the first element constructed from p.first and the second element from p.second
9) Pair copy constructor. Constructs a 2-element tuple with the first element constructed from p.first and the second element from p.second
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
(since C++23)
10) Pair move constructor. 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)
  • This constructor is defined as deleted if the initialization of any element that is a reference would bind it to a temporary object.
(since C++23)
11) Pair move constructor. Constructs a 2-element tuple with the first element constructed from std::forward<const U1>(p.first) and the second element from std::forward<const U2>(p.second)
12) Implicitly-defined copy constructor. Initializes each element of the tuple with the corresponding element of other.
  • This constructor is constexpr if every operation it performs is constexpr. For the empty tuple std::tuple<>, it is constexpr.
  • std::is_copy_constructible<Ti>::value must be true for all i, otherwise the behavior is undefined (until C++20)the program is ill-formed (since C++20).
13) Implicitly-defined move constructor. Initializes each ith element of the tuple with std::forward<Ui>(std::get<i>(other)).
  • This constructor is constexpr if every operation it performs is constexpr. For the empty tuple std::tuple<>, it is constexpr.
  • std::is_move_constructible<Ti>::value must be true for all i, otherwise the behavior is undefined (until C++20)this overload does not participate in overload resolution (since C++20).
14-26) Identical to (1-13) 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.

Parameters

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

Notes

Conditionally-explicit constructors make it possible to construct a tuple in copy-initialization context using list-initialization syntax: 

std::tuple<int, int> foo_tuple() 
{
  return {1, -1};  // Error before N4387
  return std::make_tuple(1, -1); // Always works
}

Note that if some element of the list is not implicitly convertible to the corresponding element of the target tuple, the constructors become explicit: 

using namespace std::chrono;
void launch_rocket_at(std::tuple<hours, minutes, seconds>);
 
launch_rocket_at({hours(1), minutes(2), seconds(3)}); // OK
launch_rocket_at({1, 2, 3}); // Error: int is not implicitly convertible to duration
launch_rocket_at(std::tuple<hours, minutes, seconds>{1, 2, 3}); // OK

Example

Run this code
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <tuple>
#include <type_traits>
#include <vector>
 
// helper function to print a vector to a stream
template<class Os, class T>
Os& operator<< (Os& os, std::vector<T> const& v)
{
    os << '{';
    for (auto i{v.size()}; const T& e : v)
        os << e << (--i ? "," : "");
    return os << '}';
}
 
template<class T>
void print_single(T const& v)
{
    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, std::decay_t<std::string>>)
        std::cout << std::quoted(v);
    else if constexpr (std::is_same_v<std::decay_t<T>, char>)
        std::cout << "'" << v << "'";
    else
        std::cout << v;
}
 
// 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 << ", ";
        print_single(std::get<N-1>(t));
    }
};
 
template<class Tuple>
struct TuplePrinter<Tuple, 1>{
    static void print(const Tuple& t)
    {
        print_single(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, t1: "; print(t1);
    std::tuple<int, std::string, double> t2{42, "Test", -3.14};
    std::cout << "Initialized with values, t2: "; print(t2);
    std::tuple<char, std::string, int> t3{t2};
    std::cout << "Implicitly converted, t3: "; print(t3);
    std::tuple<int, double> t4{std::make_pair(42, 3.14)};
    std::cout << "Constructed from a pair, t4: "; print(t4);
 
    // given Allocator my_alloc with a single-argument constructor
    // my_alloc(int); use my_alloc(1) to allocate 5 ints in a vector
    using my_alloc = std::allocator<int>;
    std::vector<int, my_alloc> v { 5, 1, my_alloc{/*1*/} };
    // use my_alloc(2) to allocate 5 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};
    std::cout << "Constructed with allocator, t5: "; print(t5);
}

Possible output: 

Value-initialized, t1: (0, "", 0)
Initialized with values, t2: (42, "Test", -3.14)
Implicitly converted, t3: ('*', "Test", -3)
Constructed from a pair, t4: (42, 3.14)
Constructed with allocator, t5: (42, {1,1,1,1,1}, -3.14)

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
N4387 C++11 some constructors were explicit, preventing useful behavior most constructors made conditionally-explicit
LWG 2510 C++11 default constructor was implicit made conditionally-explicit
LWG 3121 C++11 constructor of 1-tuple might recursively check the constraints;
allocator_arg_t argument brought ambiguity 		furtherly constrained the constructor
LWG 3158 C++11 the uses-allocator constructor corresponding to
default constructor was implicit 		made conditionally-explicit
LWG 3211 C++11 whether the default constructor of
tuple<> is trivial was unspecified 		require to be trivial
