Extracts an element from the pair using tuple-like interface.

The index-based overloads (1-4) fail to compile if the index I is neither 0 nor 1.

The type-based overloads (5-12) fail to compile if the types T and U are the same.

Parameters

p - pair whose contents to extract

Return value

1-4) Returns a reference to p.first if I==0 and a reference to p.second if I==1.
5-8) Returns a reference to p.first.
9-12) Returns a reference to p.second.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
 
int main()
{
    auto p = std::make_pair(1, 3.14);
    std::cout << '(' << std::get<0>(p) << ", " << std::get<1>(p) << ")\n";
    std::cout << '(' << std::get<int>(p) << ", " << std::get<double>(p) << ")\n";
}

Output:

(1, 3.14)
(1, 3.14)

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 2485 C++11 (by index)
C++14 (by type)		 there are no overloads for const pair&& the overloads are added
