std::experimental::make_array – std::experimental::make_array

Synopsis

Defined in header<experimental / array>

    template <class D = void, class... Types>
    (library fundamentals TS v2)

        constexpr std::array<VT /* see below */, sizeof...(Types)> make_array(Types &&...t);

Creates a std::array whose size is equal to the number of arguments and whose elements are initialized from the corresponding arguments. Returns std::array<VT, sizeof…(Types)>{std::forward<Types>(t)…}
If D is void, then the deduced type VT is std::common_type_t<Types…>. Otherwise, it is D.
If D is void and any of std::decay_t<Types>… is a specialization of std::reference_wrapper, the program is ill-formed.

Possible implementation

  namespace details {
    template<class> struct is_ref_wrapper : std::false_type {};
    template<class T> struct is_ref_wrapper<std::reference_wrapper<T>> : std::true_type {};

    template<class T>
    using not_ref_wrapper = std::negation<is_ref_wrapper<std::decay_t<T>>>;

    template <class D, class…> struct return_type_helper { using type = D; };
    template <class… Types>
    struct return_type_helper<void, Types…> : std::common_type<Types…> {
        static_assert(std::conjunction_v<not_ref_wrapper<Types>…>,
                      "Types cannot contain reference_wrappers when D is void");
    };

    template <class D, class… Types>
    using return_type = std::array<typename return_type_helper<D, Types…>::type,
                                   sizeof…(Types)>;
  }

  template < class D = void, class… Types>
  constexpr details::return_type<D, Types…> make_array(Types&&… t) {
    return {std::forward<Types>(t)… };
  }

Example

// Run this code

#include <experimental/array>

#include <iostream>

#include <type_traits>
int main()

{
    decltype(auto) arr = std::experimental::make_array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
    bool is_array_of_5_ints = std::is_same<decltype(arr), std::array<int, 5>>::value;
    std::cout << "Returns an array of five ints? ";
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << is_array_of_5_ints << '\n';
}

Output:

  Returns an array of five ints? true
