Quick reference of structured binding rules.

Rules

• struct MyStruct {
       int i = 0;
       std::string s;
       const int i2 = 42;
  };
  
  MyStruct ms;
  // i.e honor the structure data members' type;
  // i2 is const thus w is const int
  // e is of type of ms
  auto e = ms; 
  aliasname u = e.i; 
  aliasname v = e.s;
  aliasname w = e.i2; // w is const int

• Apart from decltype of a const structure's data member which the result is non-const.
  Qualifier works on bound alias variable.

  // const ref to anonymous entity; however;
  //the decltype of the type's data member honors the qualifiers.
  const auto& [u,v,w] = ms;
  decltype(u);// const int
  decltype(v);// const std::string
  decltype(w);// const int

• alignas(16) auto [u,v] = ms; // align the object, not v

• structured bindings do not decay.

  struct S {
       const char x[6];
       const char y[3];
  };
  
  S s1{};
  auto [a, b] = s1; // a, b is of type "const char [6]", "const char [3]"

• Structured Bindings is used in: 
• For structures and classes where all non-static data members are public, you can bind each non-static data member to exactly one name. 
• For raw arrays, you can bind a name to each element of the array. 
• For any type, you can use a tuple-like API to bind names to whatever the API defines as "elements."
  The API roughly requires the following components for a type type:
• std::tuple_size<type>::value has to return the number of elements.
• std::tuple_element<idx,type>::type has to return the type of the idxth element.
• A global or member get<idx>() has to yield the value of the idxth element. 
• The standard library types std::pair<>, std::tuple<>, and std::array<> are examples of types that provide this API.
• If structures or classes provide the tuple-like API, the API is used.
• skip binding variable trick:

  // works only once within the same scope also applies to global namespace:
  auto [_,val1] = getStruct(); // OK
  auto [_,val2] = getStruct(); // ERROR: name _ already used
