Why can't you assign a pair from a tuple, but tuple can be assigned from a pair?

问题


I'm not clear why it is legal to assign tuple<X,Y>=pair<X,Y>

But it is illegal to assign pair<X,Y>=tuple<X,Y>

    std::pair<int, double> x { 1 , 5.5};
    std::tuple<int, double> y { 1 , 5.5};
    int a;
    double b;
    std::tie(a,b) = x;
    std::tie(a,b) = y;
    x = y;  // THIS LINE (line 12)
    y = x;  // but this is fine ???

Shouldn't this be symmetrical?

Using g++ 4.8.1 gives the following errors:

tp.cpp:12:4: error: no match for operator= (operand types are std::pair<int, double> and std::tuple<int, double>)
  x = y;

I think this is another case of:

No one proposed it.

Fwiw, your code works with libc++ (as an extension). libc++ implemented a "tuple-like" concept which includes tuple, pair and array, and then has member templates (on tuple and pair) that operate on "tuple-like" types. The approach hasn't been completely without problems, but it does seem promising.
