A proposal for de-structuring initialization, that would allow writing auto [ x, y, z ] = expr; where the type of expr was a tuple-like object, whose elements would be bound to the variables x, y, and z (which this construct declares). Tuple-like objects include std::tuple, std::pair, std::array, and aggregate structures.
using Coordinate = std::pair<int, int>;
Coordinate origin() {
return Coordinate{0, 0};
}
const auto [ x, y ] = origin();
x; // == 0
y; // == 0
std::unordered_map<std::string, int> mapping {
{"a", 1},
{"b", 2},
{"c", 3}
};
// Destructure by reference.
for (const auto& [key, value] : mapping) {
// Do something with key and value
}
