std::extents<IndexType,Extents...>::index-cast

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | mdspan‎ | extents
template < class OtherIndexType >
static constexpr auto /*index-cast*/ ( OtherIndexType&& i ) noexcept ;
(since C++23)
(exposition only*)

Casts the index i of type OtherIndexType into a certain integral type.

It is equivalent to:

  • return i;, if OtherIndexType is an integral type other than bool
  • return static_cast <index_type> (i) ;

Parameters

i - the index to be cast

Return value

Cast index.

Notes

A call to this function will always return an integral type other than bool. Integer-class types can use the static_cast branch without loss of precision because this function's call sites are already constrained on the convertibility of OtherIndexType to index_type
