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. */ namespace gdb { template class array_view { /* True iff decayed T is the same as decayed U.
