◆ at

template<ptrdiff_t idx, typename list_t >
using seqan3::list_traits::at = typedef typename decltype(detail::at<idx>(list_t{}))::type

Return the type at given index from the type list.

Template Parameters
idxThe index; must be smaller than the size of the type list.
list_tThe type_list.

Negative indexes are supported (e.g. at<-1, type_list<int, double, bool &>> is bool &).

(Compile-time) Complexity

  • Number of template instantiations: O(n)
  • Other operations: O(n)
int main()
{
// Look at the 2nd element.
static_assert(std::same_as<float, seqan3::list_traits::at<1, list_t>>);
// Look at the last element.
static_assert(std::same_as<double, seqan3::list_traits::at<-1, list_t>>);
}
typename decltype(detail::at< idx >(list_t{}))::type at
Return the type at given index from the type list.
Definition: traits.hpp:260

(Compile-time) Complexity

  • Number of template instantiations: O(n) (possibly O(1))
  • Other operations: O(1)
