Bug ID: 72745
Summary: Please static assert in std::get to check out of range
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: markus.ilmola at pp dot inet.fi
Target Milestone: ---
Currently using an out of range tuple index with std::get will result in long
and confusing error message like:
"error: invalid use of incomplete type 'class std::tuple_element<0ul,
std::tuple<> >'"
See:
http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/q7L1cdFrdPQ8R3Bk
It would be easy to add a one line static assert to check the index to get a
better error message such as:
"error: tuple index out of range"
