为什么不能从元组中分配一对，但可以从对中分配元组？

我不清楚为什么分配是合法的tuple<X,Y>=pair<X,Y>

但转让是违法的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 ???

这不应该是对称的吗？

使用 g++ 4.8.1 会出现以下错误：

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

我认为这是另一个案例：

没有人提出这个建议。

Fwiw，你的代码适用于libc++（作为扩展）。 libc++ 实现了“类似元组”的概念，其中包括tuple, pair and array，然后有成员模板（在tuple and pair）对“类元组”类型进行操作。这种方法并非完全没有问题，但看起来确实很有希望。
