Assigning std::minmax result to new variables

Question

auto [x, y] = std::minmax(a, b) defines x and y as references to a and b (or b and a).

How do I make x and y new variables initialized with min and max values respectively (as if minmax returned pair of values instead of pair of refs)?

You can use the overload of the std::initializer_list version, which returns pair.

auto [x, y] = std::minmax({a, b});
