/* An array_view is an abstraction that provides a non-owning view
over a sequence of contiguous objects.
A way to put it is that array_view is to std::vector (and
std::array and built-in arrays with rank==1) like std::string_view
is to std::string.
The main intent of array_view is to use it as function input
parameter type, making it possible to pass in any sequence of
contiguous objects, irrespective of whether the objects live on the
stack or heap and what actual container owns them. Implicit
construction from the element type is supported too, making it easy
to call functions that expect an array of elements when you only
have one element (usually on the stack). For example:
struct A { .... };
void function (gdb::array_view as);
std::vector std_vec = ...;
std::array std_array = ...;
A array[] = {...};
A elem;
function (std_vec);
function (std_array);
function (array);
function (elem);
Views can be either mutable or const. A const view is simply
created by specifying a const T as array_view template parameter,
in which case operator[] of non-const array_view objects ends up
returning const references. Making the array_view itself const is
analogous to making a pointer itself be const. I.e., disables
re-seating the view/pointer.
Since array_view objects are small (pointer plus size), and
designed to be trivially copyable, they should generally be passed
around by value.
You can find unit tests covering the whole API in
unittests/array-view-selftests.c. */

This is useful as alternative to constructing an array_view using
brace initialization when the size variable you have handy is of
signed type, since otherwise without an explicit cast the code
would be ill-formed.
For example, with:
extern void foo (int, int, gdb::array_view);
value *args[2];
int nargs;
foo (1, 2, {values, nargs});
You'd get:
source.c:10: error: narrowing conversion of ‘nargs’ from ‘int’ to
‘size_t {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } [-Werror=narrowing]
You could fix it by writing the somewhat distracting explicit cast:
foo (1, 2, {values, (size_t) nargs});
Or by instantiating an array_view explicitly:
foo (1, 2, gdb::array_view(values, nargs));
Or, better, using make_array_view, which has the advantage of
inferring the arrav_view element's type:
foo (1, 2, gdb::make_array_view (values, nargs));
