Convert std::tuple to std::array C++11

Converting a tuple to an array without making use of recursion, including use of perfect-forwarding (useful for move-only types):

#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
#include <array>

template<int... Indices>
struct indices {
    using next = indices<Indices..., sizeof...(Indices)>;
};

template<int Size>
struct build_indices {
    using type = typename build_indices<Size - 1>::type::next;
};

template<>
struct build_indices<0> {
    using type = indices<>;
};

template<typename T>
using Bare = typename std::remove_cv<typename std::remove_reference<T>::type>::type;

template<typename Tuple>
constexpr
typename build_indices<std::tuple_size<Bare<Tuple>>::value>::type
make_indices()
{ return {}; }

template<typename Tuple, int... Indices>
std::array<
  typename std::tuple_element<0, Bare<Tuple>>::type,
    std::tuple_size<Bare<Tuple>>::value
>
to_array(Tuple&& tuple, indices<Indices...>)
{
    using std::get;
    return {{ get<Indices>(std::forward<Tuple>(tuple))... }};
}

template<typename Tuple>
auto to_array(Tuple&& tuple)
-> decltype( to_array(std::declval<Tuple>(), make_indices<Tuple>()) )
{
    return to_array(std::forward<Tuple>(tuple), make_indices<Tuple>());
}

int main() {
  std::tuple<double, double, double> tup(1.5, 2.5, 4.5);
  auto arr = to_array(tup);
  for (double x : arr)
    std::cout << x << " ";
  std::cout << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

You can do it non-recursively:

#include <array>
#include <tuple>
#include <redi/index_tuple.h>  // see below

template<typename T, typename... U>
  using Array = std::array<T, 1+sizeof...(U)>;

template<typename T, typename... U, unsigned... I>
  inline Array<T, U...>
  tuple_to_array2(const std::tuple<T, U...>& t, redi::index_tuple<I...>)
  {
    return Array<T, U...>{ std::get<I>(t)... };
  }

template<typename T, typename... U>
  inline Array<T, U...>
  tuple_to_array(const std::tuple<T, U...>& t)
  {
    using IndexTuple = typename redi::make_index_tuple<1+sizeof...(U)>::type;
    return tuple_to_array2(t, IndexTuple());
  }

See https://gitlab.com/redistd/redistd/blob/master/include/redi/index_tuple.h for my implementation of index_tuple, something like that is useful for working with tuples and similar variadic templates. A similar utility was standardised as std::index_sequence in C++14 (see index_seq.h for a standalone C++11 implementation).

The C++17 solution is a short one:

template<typename tuple_t>
constexpr auto get_array_from_tuple(tuple_t&& tuple)
{
    constexpr auto get_array = [](auto&& ... x){ return std::array{std::forward<decltype(x)>(x) ... }; };
    return std::apply(get_array, std::forward<tuple_t>(tuple));
}

Use it as

auto tup = std::make_tuple(1.0,2.0,3.0);
auto arr = get_array_from_tuple(tup);

EDIT: forgot to sprinkle constexpr anywhere :-)
