This header is part of the general utility library.

Includes
<initializer_list>(C++11)
Namespaces
rel_ops	Provide automatic comparison operators
Defined in namespace std::rel_ops
operator!= operator> operator<= operator>=	automatically generates comparison operators based on user-defined operator== and operator< (function template)
Functions
swap	swaps the values of two objects (function template)
forward (C++11)	forwards a function argument (function template)
move (C++11)	obtains an rvalue reference (function template)
move_if_noexcept (C++11)	obtains an rvalue reference if the move constructor does not throw (function template)
declval (C++11)	obtains the type of expression in unevaluated context (function template)
make_pair	creates a pair object of type, defined by the argument types (function template)
operator== operator!= operator< operator<= operator> operator>=	lexicographically compares the values in the pair (function template)
std::swap(std::pair) (C++11)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
std::get(std::pair) (C++11)	accesses an element of a pair (function template)
Classes
pair	implements binary tuple, i.e. a pair of values (class template)
piecewise_construct_t (C++11)	tag type used to select correct function overload for piecewise construction (class)
Forward declarations
tuple (C++11)	implements fixed size container, which holds elements of possibly different types (class template)
Objects
piecewise_construct (C++11)	an object of type piecewise_construct_t used to disambiguate functions for piecewise construction (constant)
