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.
