constexpr std::pair <std::unwrap_ref_decay_t <T1>,
                    std::unwrap_ref_decay_t <T2>>
Creates a std::pair object, deducing the target type from the types of arguments.
Given types std::decay <T1>::type as U1 and std::decay <T2>::type as U2, the types /*V1*/ and /*V2*/ are defined as follows:
-  If U1is std::reference_wrapper <X>, /*V1*/ isX&; otherwise /*V1*/ isU1.
-  If U2is std::reference_wrapper <Y>, /*V2*/ isY&; otherwise /*V2*/ isU2.
(until C++20)
[edit] Parameters
 x, y
 -
 the values to construct the pair from
[edit] Return value
std::pair <T1, T2>(x, y)
(until C++11)std::pair <std::unwrap_ref_decay_t <T1>, std::unwrap_ref_decay_t <T2>>
    (std::forward <T1>(x), std::forward <T2>(y))
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <functional> #include <iostream> #include <utility> 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)
[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 181 | C++98 | the parameter types were const-reference types, which made passing arrays impossible | changed these types to value types |
