The `Span` object, much like the `absl::string_view` object, // does not own such data itself. A span provides a lightweight way to pass // around view of such data. // // Additionally, this header file defines `MakeSpan()` and `MakeConstSpan()` // factory functions, for clearly creating spans of type `Span` or read-only // `Span` when such types may be difficult to identify due to issues // with implicit conversion. // // The C++ standards committee currently has a proposal for a `std::span` type, // (http://wg21.link/p0122), which is not yet part of the standard (though may // become part of C++20). As of August 2017, the differences between // `absl::Span` and this proposal are: // * `absl::Span` uses `size_t` for `size_type` // * `absl::Span` has no `operator()` // * `absl::Span` has no constructors for `std::unique_ptr` or // `std::shared_ptr` // * `absl::Span` has the factory functions `MakeSpan()` and // `MakeConstSpan()` // * `absl::Span` has `front()` and `back()` methods // * bounds-checked access to `absl::Span` is accomplished with `at()` // * `absl::Span` has compiler-provided move and copy constructors and // assignment. This is due to them being specified as `constexpr`, but that // implies const in C++11. // * `absl::Span` has no `element_type` or `index_type` typedefs // * A read-only `absl::Span` can be implicitly constructed from an // initializer list. // * `absl::Span` has no `bytes()`, `size_bytes()`, `as_bytes()`, or // `as_mutable_bytes()` methods // * `absl::Span` has no static extent template parameter, nor constructors // which exist only because of the static extent parameter. // * `absl::Span` has an explicit mutable-reference constructor // // For more information, see the class comments below. #ifndef ABSL_TYPES_SPAN_H_ #define ABSL_TYPES_SPAN_H_ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "absl/base/internal/throw_delegate.h" #include "absl/base/macros.h" #include "absl/base/optimization.h" #include "absl/base/port.h" // TODO(strel): remove this include #include "absl/meta/type_traits.h" #include "absl/types/internal/span.h" namespace absl { ABSL_NAMESPACE_BEGIN //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Span //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // // A `Span` is an "array view" type for holding a view of a contiguous data // array; the `Span` object does not and cannot own such data itself. A span // provides an easy way to provide overloads for anything operating on // contiguous sequences without needing to manage pointers and array lengths // manually. // A span is conceptually a pointer (ptr) and a length (size) into an already // existing array of contiguous memory; the array it represents references the // elements "ptr[0] .. ptr[size-1]". Passing a properly-constructed `Span` // instead of raw pointers avoids many issues related to index out of bounds // errors. // // Spans may also be constructed from containers holding contiguous sequences. // Such containers must supply `data()` and `size() const` methods (e.g // `std::vector`, `absl::InlinedVector`). All implicit conversions to // `absl::Span` from such containers will create spans of type `const T`; // spans which can mutate their values (of type `T`) must use explicit // constructors. // // A `Span` is somewhat analogous to an `absl::string_view`, but for an array // of elements of type `T`. A user of `Span` must ensure that the data being // pointed to outlives the `Span` itself. // // You can construct a `Span` in several ways: // // * Explicitly from a reference to a container type // * Explicitly from a pointer and size // * Implicitly from a container type (but only for spans of type `const T`) // * Using the `MakeSpan()` or `MakeConstSpan()` factory functions. // // Examples: // // // Construct a Span explicitly from a container: // std::vector v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // auto span = absl::Span(v); // // // Construct a Span explicitly from a C-style array: // int a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // auto span = absl::Span(a); // // // Construct a Span implicitly from a container // void MyRoutine(absl::Span a) { // ... // } // std::vector v = {1,2,3,4,5}; // MyRoutine(v) // convert to Span // // Note that `Span` objects, in addition to requiring that the memory they // point to remains alive, must also ensure that such memory does not get // reallocated. Therefore, to avoid undefined behavior, containers with // associated span views should not invoke operations that may reallocate memory // (such as resizing) or invalidate iterators into the container. // // One common use for a `Span` is when passing arguments to a routine that can // accept a variety of array types (e.g. a `std::vector`, `absl::InlinedVector`, // a C-style array, etc.). Instead of creating overloads for each case, you // can simply specify a `Span` as the argument to such a routine. // // Example: // // void MyRoutine(absl::Span a) { // ... // } // // std::vector v = {1,2,3,4,5}; // MyRoutine(v); // // absl::InlinedVector my_inline_vector; // MyRoutine(my_inline_vector); // // // Explicit constructor from pointer,size // int* my_array = new int[10]; // MyRoutine(absl::Span(my_array, 10)); template class Span { private: // Used to determine whether a Span can be constructed from a container of // type C. template using EnableIfConvertibleFrom = typename std::enable_if::value && span_internal::HasSize::value>::type; // Used to SFINAE-enable a function when the slice elements are const. template using EnableIfConstView = typename std::enable_if::value, U>::type; // Used to SFINAE-enable a function when the slice elements are mutable. template using EnableIfMutableView = typename std::enable_if::value, U>::type; public: using value_type = absl::remove_cv_t; using pointer = T*; using const_pointer = const T*; using reference = T&; using const_reference = const T&; using iterator = pointer; using const_iterator = const_pointer; using reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator; using const_reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator; using size_type = size_t; using difference_type = ptrdiff_t; static const size_type npos = ~(size_type(0)); constexpr Span() noexcept : Span(nullptr, 0) {} constexpr Span(pointer array, size_type length) noexcept : ptr_(array), len_(length) {} // Implicit conversion constructors template constexpr Span(T (&a)[N]) noexcept // NOLINT(runtime/explicit) : Span(a, N) {} // Explicit reference constructor for a mutable `Span` type.
