(since C++26) | |
The partial specializations of std::tuple_element for std::complex provide compile-time access to the underlying real and imaginary number type of a complex, using tuple-like syntax. They are provided for structured binding support. The program is ill-formed if I >= 2.

Example
Run this code
#include <complex> #include <type_traits> static_assert([z = std::complex<float>()] { using T = decltype(z); return #if __cpp_lib_tuple_like >= 202311L std::is_same_v<std::tuple_element_t<0, T>, float> && std::is_same_v<std::tuple_element_t<1, T>, float> && #endif std::is_same_v<T::value_type, float>; }()); int main() {}
