std::pair

template<

    class T1,
    class T2

> struct pair;

std::pair is a class template that provides a way to store two heterogeneous objects as a single unit. A pair is a specific case of a std::tuple with two elements.

If neither T1 nor T2 is a possibly cv-qualified class type with non-trivial destructor, or array thereof, the destructor of pair is trivial.

template< class T, class U >

constexpr bool enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<std::pair<T, U>> =
    enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<T> &&

    enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization<U>;

(since C++23)

This specialization of std::enable_nonlocking_formatter_optimization enables efficient implementation of std::print and std::println for printing a pair object when both T and U enable it.
