std::tuple<> has been gaining new abilities, like get-by-type in C++14 and conditionally-explicit constructors in C++17. This talk will begin by briefly summarizing what you can do with tuples in C++11 and C++14. Next, we’ll explore what’s new in C++17, and how it can improve your code. We’ll also delve into how this magic is implemented, with new metaprogramming tools like std::conjunction<>. Finally, we’ll look at active issues in tuple’s design, and what the Library Working Group is doing about them.
