C++11 tuple

tuple元组定义了一个有固定数目元素的容器,其中的每个元素类型都可以不相同,这与其他容器有着本质的区别.是对pair的泛化。

首先来介绍元组的创建和元组元素的访问。通过make_tuple()创建元组，通过get<>()来访问元组的元素。通过下面这段程序来认识这两个函数的用法：

#include <iostream>

#include <tuple>

#include <functional>

int main()

{

auto t1 = std::make_tuple(10, "Test", 3.14);

std::cout << "The value of t1 is "

<< "(" << std::get<0>(t1) << ", " << std::get<1>(t1)

<< ", " << std::get<2>(t1) << ")\n";

int n = 1;

auto t2 = std::make_tuple(std::ref(n), n);//ref表示引用

n = 7;

std::cout << "The value of t2 is "

<< "(" << std::get<0>(t2) << ", " << std::get<1>(t2) << ")\n";

}

运行结果为：

The value of t1 is (10, Test, 3.14)

The value of t2 is (7, 1)

接下来介绍tie()函数。 tie()函数可以将变量连接到一个给定的tuple上，生成一个元素类型全是引用的tuple,相当于make_tuple(ref(a),ref(b),…)。可以通过tie()函数的使用方便的对tuple进行“解包”操作。看下面的代码：

#include <iostream>

#include <tuple>

int main ()

{

int myint;

char mychar;

float myfloat;

std::tuple<int,float,char> mytuple;

mytuple = std::make_tuple (10, 2.6, 'a');          // packing values into tuple

//std::tie (myint, std::ignore, mychar) = mytuple;   // unpacking tuple into variables  【1】

std::tie (myint,myfloat, mychar) = mytuple;

std::cout << "myint contains: " << myint << std::endl;

std::cout << "mychar contains: " << mychar << std::endl;

std::cout << "myfloat contains: "<< myfloat <<std::endl;

std::get<0>(mytuple) = 100;//修改tuple的值

std::cout <<"After assignment myint contains: "<< std::get<0>(mytuple) << std::endl;

return 0;

}

运行结果：

myint contains: 10

mychar contains: a

myfloat contains: 2.6

After assignment myint contains: 100

注：正如【1】处我们可以使用std::ignore,从而不用关联tuple中的第二个元素.

最后介绍一个tuple_cat()函数，通过该函数可以将多个tuple连接起来形成一个tuple（注：在VC11中只能连接两个tuple并不是真正的多个tuple）。

#include <iostream>

#include <utility>

#include <string>

#include <tuple>

int main ()

{

std::tuple<float,std::string> mytuple (3.14,"pi");

std::pair<int,char> mypair (10,'a');

auto myauto = std::tuple_cat ( mytuple, mypair );

std::cout << "myauto contains: " << std::endl;

std::cout << std::get<0>(myauto) << std::endl;

std::cout << std::get<1>(myauto) << std::endl;

std::cout << std::get<2>(myauto) << std::endl;

std::cout << std::get<3>(myauto) << std::endl;

return 0;

}

运行结果：

myauto contains:

3.14

pi

10

a
