Standard library header <span> (C++20)
From cppreference.com
This header is part of the containers library.
Classes | |
(C++20) |
a non-owning view over a contiguous sequence of objects (class template) |
Constants | |
(C++20) |
a constant of type std::size_t signifying that the span has dynamic extent (constant) |
Functions | |
(C++20) |
converts a span into a view of its underlying bytes (function template) |
Range access | |
(C++11)(C++14) |
returns an iterator to the beginning of a container or array (function template) |
(C++11)(C++14) |
returns an iterator to the end of a container or array (function template) |
(C++14) |
returns a reverse iterator to the beginning of a container or array (function template) |
(C++14) |
returns a reverse end iterator for a container or array (function template) |
(C++17)(C++20) |
returns the size of a container or array (function template) |
(C++17) |
checks whether the container is empty (function template) |
(C++17) |
obtains the pointer to the underlying array (function template) |
