20.5.3.1 Construction [tuple.cnstr]

In the descriptions that follow, let i be in the range [0, sizeof...(Types)) in order, be the type in Types, and be the type in a template parameter pack named UTypes, where indexing is zero-based.
For each tuple constructor, an exception is thrown only if the construction of one of the types in Types throws an exception.
The defaulted move and copy constructor, respectively, of tuple is a constexpr function if and only if all required element-wise initializations for move and copy, respectively, would satisfy the requirements for a constexpr function.
The defaulted move and copy constructor of tuple<> are constexpr functions.
If is_­trivially_­destructible_­v<> is true for all , then the destructor of tuple is trivial.
constexpr explicit(see below) tuple();
Constraints: is_­default_­constructible_­v<> is true for all i.
Effects: Value-initializes each element.
Remarks: The expression inside explicit evaluates to true if and only if is not copy-list-initializable from an empty list for at least one i.
Note
:
This behavior can be implemented with a trait that checks whether a const & can be initialized with {}.

20.5.3.2 Assignment [tuple.assign]

For each tuple assignment operator, an exception is thrown only if the assignment of one of the types in Types throws an exception.
