#include <type_traits>

// Minimal compressed pair implementation.
//
// In cpp even if a class is zero-sized, adding a member of such a class,
// allocates 1 byte in the layout of the instantiating class. In generic
// programming one sometimes wants to store a member of a template argument and
// in the best case for zero-sized template types one does not want to pay a
// price.
//
// One example for this is std::unique_ptr with a custom state-less deleter:
//
#include <memory>
struct freer {
  void operator()(void* p) {
    std::free(p);
  }
};

std::unique_ptr<char, freer> ptr{nullptr};
static_assert(sizeof(ptr) == sizeof(char*), "");
//
// Before cpp20 this can be achieved with some template specialization tricks
// and deriving from the type if it is not empty and not final.
//
// Starting with cpp20 the [[no_unique_address]] attribute [1] was added which
// allows the compiler to not allocate space in the layout of a class for a
// given member if that is zero-sized.
