20.5 Compile-time integer sequences [intseq]

20.5.1 In general [intseq.general]

1

The library provides a class template that can represent an integer sequence. When used as an argument to a function template the parameter pack defining the sequence can be deduced and used in a pack expansion.

[ Example:

template<class F, class Tuple, std::size_t... I>
  decltype(auto) apply_impl(F&& f, Tuple&& t, index_sequence<I...>) {
    return std::forward<F>(f)(std::get<I>(std::forward<Tuple>(t))...);
  }

template<class F, class Tuple>
  decltype(auto) apply(F&& f, Tuple&& t) {
    using Indices = make_index_sequence<std::tuple_size<std::decay_t<Tuple>>::value>;
    return apply_impl(std::forward<F>(f), std::forward<Tuple>(t), Indices());
  }
