(5) (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>

Notes

All specializations of std::tuple_size satisfy UnaryTypeTrait with BaseCharacteristic std::integral_constant<std::size_t, N> for some N.

Example

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

Output:

3
