std::basic_format_args::basic_format_args

basic_format_args() noexcept;
(1)
template<class... Args>
basic_format_args(const /*format-arg-store*/<Context, Args...>& store) noexcept;
(2)
1) Constructs a basic_format_args object that does not hold any formatting argument.
2) Constructs a basic_format_args object from the result of a call to std::make_format_args or std::make_wformat_args.

std::basic_format_args has reference semantics. It is the programmer's responsibility to ensure that *this does not outlive store (which, in turn, should not outlive the arguments to std::make_format_args or std::make_wformat_args).

std::basic_format_args::get

std::basic_format_arg<Context> get(std::size_t i) const noexcept;

Returns a std::basic_format_arg holding the i-th argument in args, where args is the parameter pack passed to std::make_format_args or std::make_wformat_args.

If there's no such formatting argument (i.e. *this was default-constructed or i is not less than the number of formatting arguments), returns a default-constructed std::basic_format_arg (holding a std::monostate object).
