     26 /* An array_view is an abstraction that provides a non-owning view
     27    over a sequence of contiguous objects.
     28 
     29    A way to put it is that array_view is to std::vector (and
     30    std::array and built-in arrays with rank==1) like std::string_view
     31    is to std::string.
     32 
     33    The main intent of array_view is to use it as function input
     34    parameter type, making it possible to pass in any sequence of
     35    contiguous objects, irrespective of whether the objects live on the
     36    stack or heap and what actual container owns them.  Implicit
     37    construction from the element type is supported too, making it easy
     38    to call functions that expect an array of elements when you only
     39    have one element (usually on the stack).  For example:
     40 
     41     struct A { .... };
     42     void function (gdb::array_view<A> as);
     43 
     44     std::vector<A> std_vec = ...;
     45     std::array<A, N> std_array = ...;
     46     A array[] = {...};
     47     A elem;
     48 
     49     function (std_vec);
     50     function (std_array);
     51     function (array);
     52     function (elem);
     53 
     54    Views can be either mutable or const.  A const view is simply
     55    created by specifying a const T as array_view template parameter,
     56    in which case operator[] of non-const array_view objects ends up
     57    returning const references.  Making the array_view itself const is
     58    analogous to making a pointer itself be const.  I.e., disables
     59    re-seating the view/pointer.
     60 
     61    Since array_view objects are small (pointer plus size), and
     62    designed to be trivially copyable, they should generally be passed
     63    around by value.
     64 
     65    You can find unit tests covering the whole API in
     66    unittests/array-view-selftests.c.  */

    255 
    256    This is useful as alternative to constructing an array_view using
    257    brace initialization when the size variable you have handy is of
    258    signed type, since otherwise without an explicit cast the code
    259    would be ill-formed.
    260 
    261    For example, with:
    262 
    263      extern void foo (int, int, gdb::array_view<value *>);
    264 
    265      value *args[2];
    266      int nargs;
    267      foo (1, 2, {values, nargs});
    268 
    269    You'd get:
    270 
    271      source.c:10: error: narrowing conversion of nargs from int to
    272      size_t {aka long unsigned int} inside { } [-Werror=narrowing]
    273 
    274    You could fix it by writing the somewhat distracting explicit cast:
    275 
    276      foo (1, 2, {values, (size_t) nargs});
    277 
    278    Or by instantiating an array_view explicitly:
    279 
    280      foo (1, 2, gdb::array_view<value *>(values, nargs));
    281 
    282    Or, better, using make_array_view, which has the advantage of
    283    inferring the array_view element's type:
    284 
    285      foo (1, 2, gdb::make_array_view (values, nargs));
