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));
