# std::forward_as_tuple

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | tuple

Defined in header `<tuple>` |  |

template< class... Types > tuple<Types&&...> forward_as_tuple( Types&&... args ); |  | (since C++11) (until C++14)
template< class... Types > constexpr tuple<Types&&...> forward_as_tuple( Types&&... args ); |  | (since C++14)

Constructs a tuple of references to the arguments in `args` suitable for forwarding as an argument to a function. The tuple has rvalue reference data members when rvalues are used as arguments, and otherwise has lvalue reference data members. If rvalues are used, the result of this function must be consumed before the next sequence point.

### [edit] Parameters

args | - | zero or more arguments to construct the tuple from

### [edit] Return value

A std::tuple object created as if by std::tuple<Types&&...>(std::forward<Types>(args)...)

### [edit] Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <map>
    #include <tuple>
    #include <string>

    int main()
    {
        std::map<int, std::string> m;

        m.emplace(std::piecewise_construct,
                  std::forward_as_tuple(10),
                  std::forward_as_tuple(20, 'a'));
        std::cout << "m[10] = " << m[10] << '\n';

        // The following is an error: it produces a
        // std::tuple<int&&, char&&> holding two dangling references.
        //
        // auto t = std::forward_as_tuple(20, 'a');
        // m.emplace(std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple(10), t);
    }

Output:

    m[10] = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

make_tuple | creates a `tuple` object of the type defined by the argument types (function template) [edit]
tie | creates a `tuple` of lvalue references or unpacks a tuple into individual objects (function template) [edit]
tuple_cat | creates a `tuple` by concatenating any number of tuples (function template) [edit]
