/* An array_view is an abstraction that provides a non-owning view
   over a sequence of contiguous objects.

   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<A> as);

    std::vector<A> std_vec = ...;
    std::array<A, N> 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.  */

   This is useful as alternative to constructing an array_view using
   brace initialization when the size variable you have handy is of
   signed type, since otherwise without an explicit cast the code
   would be ill-formed.

   For example, with:

     extern void foo (int, int, gdb::array_view<value *>);

     value *args[2];
     int nargs;
     foo (1, 2, {values, nargs});

   You'd get:

     source.c:10: error: narrowing conversion of ‘nargs’ from ‘int’ to
     ‘size_t {aka long unsigned int}’ inside { } [-Werror=narrowing]

   You could fix it by writing the somewhat distracting explicit cast:

     foo (1, 2, {values, (size_t) nargs});

   Or by instantiating an array_view explicitly:

     foo (1, 2, gdb::array_view<value *>(values, nargs));

   Or, better, using make_array_view, which has the advantage of
   inferring the arrav_view element's type:

     foo (1, 2, gdb::make_array_view (values, nargs));
