Re: [std-proposals] Extension to std::tuples to allow runtime indexing.

Is it relevant, whether tuples are recursively defined, or not? It is the programming style for functional programming. Doesn't mean that indexes are resolved recursively at runtime.   -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von:Muneem via Std-Proposals <std-proposals_at_[hidden]> Gesendet:Mo 20.04.2026 10:03 Betreff:Re: [std-proposals] Extension to std::tuples to allow runtime indexing.

I was lucky to see this a month ago while learning random number generators and reading Bjarne's great book. Without this video, My code couldn't be completed, like most of it is basic, except the part where I used std::apply because that was what took 3 hours to get a hint of, which is when this video came into mind somehow. Funny how the world is, like I programmed in my dream, literally solving this puzzle. This puzzle may look basic to the old timers but for me, this basic puzzle took like an honest 4 hours to prototype and 6 hours to fix completely(about 10 if you count the 2-4 hours in my dream).

I promise that I will fix it tomorrow and will test every possible specialization to make sure such mistakes don't occur again. Again, really really sorry. I am almost done with the proper code but it's just a little bit left that I left for tomorrow. I know it's nothing special and that I should be better at wiring such basic code but things happen and in my case, it would to not think properly so as to use recursion with conditinal_t.   Regards, Muneem On Sun, 19 Apr 2026, 8:28 pm Thiago Macieira via Std-Proposals, <std-proposals_at_[hidden] <mailto:std-proposals_at_[hidden]> > wrote: On Sunday, 19 April 2026 01:01:13 Pacific Daylight Time Muneem via Std- Proposals wrote: > This is the example implementation code: Send the link to the working implementation in godbolt or your repository on GitHub/GitLab/equivalent. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info <http://macieira.info> - thiago (AT) kde.org <http://kde.org>   Principal Engineer - Intel Data Center - Platform & Sys.
