std::span
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <span>
|
||
| template< class T, |
(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.
Template parameters
| 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; the program is ill-formed if Extent is negative and is not std::dynamic_extent
|

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.

Member functions
constructs a span (public member function) | |
assigns a span (public member function) | |
Iterators | |
| returns an iterator to the beginning of the sequence (public member function) | |
| returns an iterator to the end of the sequence (public member function) | |
| returns a reverse iterator to the beginning of the sequence (public member function) | |
| returns a reverse iterator to the end of the sequence (public member function) | |
Element access | |
| accesses an element of the sequence (public member function) | |
| returns a pointer to the beginning of the sequence of elements (public member function) | |
Observers | |
| returns the number of elements in the sequence (public member function) | |
| returns the size of the sequence in bytes (public member function) | |
| checks if the sequence is empty (public member function) | |
Subviews | |
| obtains a subspan consisting of the first N elements of the sequence (public member function) | |
| obtains a subspan consisting of the last N elements of the sequence (public member function) | |
| obtains a subspan (public member function) | |
Non-member functions
| returns iterators to the beginning and the end of the span (function) | |
converts a span into a view of its underlying bytes (function template) |
Non-member constant
| (C++20) |
a constant of type ptrdiff_t (constant) |
