#

Mandates:

(2.1)
ElementType is a complete object type that is neither an abstract class type nor an array type,
(2.2)
Extents is a specialization of extents, and
(2.3)
is_same_v<ElementType, typename AccessorPolicy::element_type> is true.

3

#

LayoutPolicy shall meet the layout mapping policy requirements ([mdspan.layout.policy.reqmts]), and AccessorPolicy shall meet the accessor policy requirements ([mdspan.accessor.reqmts]).

4

#

Each specialization MDS of mdspan models copyable and

(4.1)
is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<MDS> is true,
(4.2)
is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<MDS> is true, and
(4.3)
is_nothrow_swappable_v<MDS> is true.

5

#

A specialization of mdspan is a trivially copyable type if its accessor_type, mapping_type, and data_handle_type are trivially copyable types.
