| (since C++20) |
The class template span describes an object that can refer to a contiguous sequence of objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero. A span can either have a static extent, in which case the number of elements in the sequence is known and encoded in the type, or a dynamic extent.
A typical implementation holds only two members: a pointer to T and a size.
| T | - | element type; must be a complete type that is not an abstract class type |
| Extent | - | the number of elements in the sequence, or std::dynamic_extent if dynamic |
| Member type | Definition |
|---|---|
element_type | T |
value_type | std::remove_cv_t<T> |
index_type | std::size_t |
difference_type | std::ptrdiff_t |
pointer | T* |
const_pointer | const T* |
reference | T& |
const_reference | const T& |
iterator | implementation-defined LegacyRandomAccessIterator, ConstexprIterator, and LegacyContiguousIterator whose value_type is value_type |
const_iterator | implementation-defined constant LegacyRandomAccessIterator, ConstexprIterator, and LegacyContiguousIterator whose value_type is value_type |
reverse_iterator | std::reverse_iterator<iterator> |
const_reverse_iterator | std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator> |
Note: iterator is a mutable iterator if T is not const-qualified.
All requirements on the iterator types of a Container applies to the iterator and const_iterator types of span as well.
