Creates a std::pair object, deducing the target type from the types of arguments.

[edit] Parameters

x, y - the values to construct the pair from

[edit] Return value

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { int n = 1; int a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};   // build a pair from two ints auto p1 = std::make_pair(n, a[1]); std::cout << "The value of p1 is " << '(' << p1.first << ", " << p1.second << ")\n";   // build a pair from a reference to int and an array (decayed to pointer) auto p2 = std::make_pair(std::ref(n), a); n = 7; std::cout << "The value of p2 is " << '(' << p2.first << ", " << *(p2.second + 2) << ")\n"; }

Output:

The value of p1 is (1, 2) The value of p2 is (7, 3)

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 181 C++98 the parameter types were const-referencetypes, which made passing arrays impossible changed thesetypes to value types
