Mandates:
  • ElementType is a complete object type that is neither an abstract class type nor an array type,
  • Extents is a specialization of extents, and
  • is_same_v<ElementType, typename AccessorPolicy​::​element_type> is true.
LayoutPolicy shall meet the layout mapping policy requirements ([mdspan.layout.policy.reqmts]), and AccessorPolicy shall meet the accessor policy requirements ([mdspan.accessor.reqmts]).
Each specialization MDS of mdspan models copyable and
  • is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<MDS> is true,
  • is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<MDS> is true, and
  • is_nothrow_swappable_v<MDS> is true.
A specialization of mdspan is a trivially copyable type if its accessor_type, mapping_type, and data_handle_type are trivially copyable types.

Let I be extents_type​::​index-cast(std​::​move(indices)).
Preconditions: I is a multidimensional index in extents().
[Note 1: 
This implies that map_(I) < map_.required_span_size() is true.
— end note]
Effects: Equivalent to: return acc_.access(ptr_, map_(static_cast<index_type>(std::move(indices))...));

Equivalent to: return operator[](extents_type::index-cast(as_const(indices[P]))...);
constexpr size_type size() const noexcept;
Preconditions: The size of the multidimensional index space extents() is representable as a value of type size_type ([basic.fundamental]).
Returns: extents().fwd-prod-of-extents(rank()).
constexpr bool empty() const noexcept;
Returns: true if the size of the multidimensional index space extents() is 0, otherwise false.
