In JavaScript ES6, there is a language feature known as destructuring. It exists across many other languages as well.
In JavaScript ES6, it looks like this:
For the specific case of std::tuple
(or std::pair
) objects, C++ offers the std::tie function which looks similar:
std::tuple my_obj {1, false, 2.0};
// later on...
int x;
bool y;
double z;
std::tie(x, y, z) = my_obj;
// or, if we don't want all the contents:
std::tie(std::ignore, y, std::ignore) = my_obj;
I am not aware of an approach to the notation exactly as you present it.
