C++11 Tagged Tuple

I’m not aware of any existing class that does this, but it’s fairly easy to throw something together using a std::tuple and an indexing typelist:

#include <tuple>
#include <iostream>

template<typename... Ts> struct typelist {
  template<typename T> using prepend = typelist<T, Ts...>;
};

template<typename T, typename... Ts> struct index;
template<typename T, typename... Ts> struct index<T, T, Ts...>:
  std::integral_constant<int, 0> {};
template<typename T, typename U, typename... Ts> struct index<T, U, Ts...>:
  std::integral_constant<int, index<T, Ts...>::value + 1> {};

template<int n, typename... Ts> struct nth_impl;
template<typename T, typename... Ts> struct nth_impl<0, T, Ts...> {
  using type = T; };
template<int n, typename T, typename... Ts> struct nth_impl<n, T, Ts...> {
  using type = typename nth_impl<n - 1, Ts...>::type; };
template<int n, typename... Ts> using nth = typename nth_impl<n, Ts...>::type;

template<int n, int m, typename... Ts> struct extract_impl;
template<int n, int m, typename T, typename... Ts>
struct extract_impl<n, m, T, Ts...>: extract_impl<n, m - 1, Ts...> {};
template<int n, typename T, typename... Ts>
struct extract_impl<n, 0, T, Ts...> { using types = typename
  extract_impl<n, n - 1, Ts...>::types::template prepend<T>; };
template<int n, int m> struct extract_impl<n, m> {
  using types = typelist<>; };
template<int n, int m, typename... Ts> using extract = typename
  extract_impl<n, m, Ts...>::types;

template<typename S, typename T> struct tt_impl;
template<typename... Ss, typename... Ts>
struct tt_impl<typelist<Ss...>, typelist<Ts...>>:
  public std::tuple<Ts...> {
  template<typename... Args> tt_impl(Args &&...args):
    std::tuple<Ts...>(std::forward<Args>(args)...) {}
  template<typename S> nth<index<S, Ss...>::value, Ts...> get() {
    return std::get<index<S, Ss...>::value>(*this); }
};
template<typename... Ts> struct tagged_tuple:
  tt_impl<extract<2, 0, Ts...>, extract<2, 1, Ts...>> {
  template<typename... Args> tagged_tuple(Args &&...args):
    tt_impl<extract<2, 0, Ts...>, extract<2, 1, Ts...>>(
      std::forward<Args>(args)...) {}
};

struct name {};
struct age {};
struct email {};

tagged_tuple<name, std::string, age, int, email, std::string> get_record() {
  return { "Bob", 32, "bob@bob.bob"};
}

int main() {
  std::cout << "Age: " << get_record().get<age>() << std::endl;
}

You’ll probably want to write const and rvalue get accessors on top of the existing one.
