<utility> 
 template< class T1, class T2 >
 
 (since C++11) 
struct tuple_size<std::pair <T1, T2>>
The partial specialization of std::tuple_size for pairs provides a compile-time way to obtain the number of elements in a pair, which is always 2, using tuple-like syntax.

[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <tuple> #include <utility> template<class T> void test([[maybe_unused]]T t) { [[maybe_unused]] 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)); test(std::make_pair (1, 3.14)); }
Output:
3 2
[edit] Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior | 
|---|---|---|---|
| LWG 2313 | C++11 | specializations for pairwere not required to be derived fromintegral_constant | required |
