template < class IndexType, std::size_t... Extents >
class extents;
(1) (since C++23)
template < class IndexType, std::size_t Rank >
using dextents = /* see below */
(2) (since C++23)
template < std::size_t Rank, class IndexType = std::size_t >
using dims = std:: dextents <IndexType, Rank> ;
(3) (since C++26)
1) Represents a multidimensional index space of rank equal to sizeof...(Extents)
2) A convenient alias template for an all-dynamic extents. Let d denote std::dynamic_extent, each specialization of it dextents<IndexType, Rank> is equivalent to extents<IndexType /*, d, d, ..., d*/> (i.e. d is repeated a total of Rank
3) A convenient alias template for an all-dynamic extents with std::size_t

Each specialization of extents models regular and is TriviallyCopyable

Template parameters

IndexType - the type of each non-dynamic Extents. Shall be a signed or unsigned integer type. Otherwise, the program is ill-formed
Extents - represents extent (size of an integer interval) for each rank index. Each element of it is either equal to std::dynamic_extent (in this case, it represents a dynamic extent and the extent size will be determined dynamically), or is representable as a value of type IndexType (then it represents a static extent
Rank - denotes the rank of an all-dynamic extents
