std::pair - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | -------------------------------------------- | | | | template< class T1, class T2 > struct pair; | | |

std::pair is a class template that provides a way to store two heterogeneous objects as a single unit. A pair is a specific case of a std::tuple with two elements.

If neither T1 nor T2 is a possibly cv-qualified class type with non-trivial destructor, or array thereof, the destructor of pair is trivial.

| template< class T, class U > constexpr bool enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<std::pair<T, U>> = enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<T> && enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<U>; | | (since C++23) | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ------------- |

This specialization of std::enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization enables efficient implementation of std::print and std::println for printing a pair object when both T and U enable it.
