Defined in header <tuple>
template< class T, class Tuple > constexpr T make_from_tuple( Tuple&& t );		(since C++17) (until C++23)
template< class T, tuple-like Tuple > constexpr T make_from_tuple( Tuple&& t );		(since C++23)

Construct an object of type T, using the elements of the tuple t as the arguments to the constructor.

Given the exposition-only function make-from-tuple-impl defined as follows: template<class T, tuple-like Tuple, std::size_t... I> // no constraint on Tuple before C++23
constexpr T make-from-tuple-impl(Tuple&& t, std::index_sequence<I...>) // exposition only
{
    return T(std::get<I>(std::forward<Tuple>(t))...);
}

The effect is equivalent to return make-from-tuple-impl<T>(
    std::forward<Tuple>(t),
    std::make_index_sequence<std::tuple_size_v<
        std::remove_reference_t<Tuple>>>{}); .

If std::tuple_size_v<std::remove_reference_t<Tuple>> is 1 and

std::reference_constructs_from_temporary_v<     T, decltype(std::get<0>(std::declval<Tuple>()))> is true, or

(since C++23)

• std::is_constructible_v<T, decltype(std::get<I>(std::declval<Tuple>()))...> is false,

the program is ill-formed.

Parameters

t

-

tuple whose elements to be used as arguments to the constructor of T

Return value

The constructed T object or reference.

Notes

Tuple need not be std::tuple, and instead may be anything that supports std::get and std::tuple_size; in particular, std::array and std::pair may be used.	(until C++23)
Tuple is constrained to be tuple-like, i.e. each type therein is required to be a specialization of std::tuple or another type (such as std::array and std::pair) that models tuple-like.	(since C++23)

Due to guaranteed copy elision, T need not be movable.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
 
struct Foo
{
    Foo(int first, float second, int third)
    {
        std::cout << first << ", " << second << ", " << third << '\n';
    }
};
 
int main()
{
    auto tuple = std::make_tuple(42, 3.14f, 0);
    std::make_from_tuple<Foo>(std::move(tuple));
}

Output:

42, 3.14, 0
