24.7.3.4 Layout mapping [mdspan.layout]

24.7.3.4.1 General [mdspan.layout.general]

  • M denotes a layout mapping class.
  • m denotes a (possibly const) value of type M.
  • i and j are packs of (possibly const) integers that are multidimensional indices in m.extents() ([mdspan.overview]).
    [Note 1: 
    The type of each element of the packs can be a different integer type.
    — end note]
  • r is a (possibly const) rank index of typename M​::​extents_type.
  • is a pack of (possibly const) integers for which sizeof...() == M​::​extents_type​::​rank() is true, the element is equal to 1, and all other elements are equal to 0.
In subclauses [mdspan.layout.reqmts] through [mdspan.layout.stride], let is-mapping-of be the exposition-only variable template defined as follows: template<class Layout, class Mapping> constexpr bool is-mapping-of = // exposition only is_same_v<typename Layout::template mapping<typename Mapping::extents_type>, Mapping>;

24.7.3.4.3 Layout mapping policy requirements [mdspan.layout.policy.reqmts]

A type MP meets the layout mapping policy requirements if for a type E that is a specialization of extents, MP​::​mapping<E> is valid and denotes a type X that meets the layout mapping requirements ([mdspan.layout.reqmts]), and for which the qualified-id X​::​layout_type is valid and denotes the type MP and the qualified-id X​::​extents_type denotes E.

24.7.3.4.4 Layout mapping policies [mdspan.layout.policy.overview]

namespace std { struct layout_left { template<class Extents> class mapping; }; struct layout_right { template<class Extents> class mapping; }; struct layout_stride { template<class Extents> class mapping; }; }
Each of layout_left, layout_right, and layout_stride meets the layout mapping policy requirements and is a trivial type.

If Extents is not a specialization of extents, then the program is ill-formed.
layout_stride​::​mapping<E> is a trivially copyable type that models regular for each E.

24.7.3.4.7.2 Exposition-only helpers [mdspan.layout.stride.expo]

Let REQUIRED-SPAN-SIZE(e, strides) be:
  • 1, if e.rank() == 0 is true,
  • otherwise 0, if the size of the multidimensional index space e is 0,
  • otherwise 1 plus the sum of products of (e.extent(r) - 1) and strides[r] for all r in the range [0, e.rank()).
Let OFFSET(m) be:
  • m(), if e.rank() == 0 is true,
  • otherwise 0, if the size of the multidimensional index space e is 0,
  • otherwise m(z...) for a pack of integers z that is a multidimensional index in m.extents() and each element of z equals 0.
Let is-extents be the exposition-only variable template defined as follows: template<class T> constexpr bool is-extents = false; // exposition only template<class IndexType, size_t... Args> constexpr bool is-extents<extents<IndexType, Args...>> = true; // exposition only
Let layout-mapping-alike be the exposition-only concept defined as follows: template<class M> concept layout-mapping-alike = requires { // exposition only requires is-extents<typename M::extents_type>; { M::is_always_strided() } -> same_as<bool>; { M::is_always_exhaustive() } -> same_as<bool>; { M::is_always_unique() } -> same_as<bool>; bool_constant<M::is_always_strided()>::value; bool_constant<M::is_always_exhaustive()>::value; bool_constant<M::is_always_unique()>::value; };
[Note 1: 
This concept checks that the functions M​::​is_always_strided(), M​::​is_always_exhaustive(), and M​::​is_always_unique() exist, are constant expressions, and have a return type of bool.
