Defined in header <tuple>
template< class... Types > struct tuple_size< std::tuple<Types...> >     : std::integral_constant<std::size_t, sizeof...(Types)> { };		(since C++11)

Provides access to the number of elements in a tuple as a compile-time constant expression.

Helper variable template

template< class T > inline constexpr std::size_t tuple_size_v = tuple_size<T>::value;		(since C++17)

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value [static]

sizeof...(Types) (public static member constant)

Member functions

operator std::size_t	converts the object to std::size_t, returns value (public member function)
operator() (C++14)	returns value (public member function)

Member types

Type	Definition
value_type	std::size_t
type	std::integral_constant<std::size_t, value>

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
 
template <class T>
void test(T value)
{
    int a[std::tuple_size_v<T>]; // can be used at compile time
 
    std::cout << std::tuple_size<T>{} << ' ' // or at run time
              << sizeof a << ' ' 
              << sizeof value << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    test(std::make_tuple(1, 2, 3.14));
}

Possible output:

3 12 16
