Hi fellow experts
I initially thought that
mdspan ms(ptr, integral_constant<size_t, 2>{}, integral_constant<size_t, 6>{});
would be deduced into mdspan<int, extents<size_t, 2, 6>>. However, as the current wording ([mdspan.mdspan.overview]), it is just mdspan<int, extents<size_t, dynamic_extent, dynamic_extent>>
template<class ElementType, class... Integrals>
requires((is_convertible_v<Integrals, size_t> && ...) && sizeof...(Integrals) > 0)
explicit mdspan(ElementType*, Integrals...)
-> mdspan<ElementType, dextents<size_t, sizeof...(Integrals)>>;
I wonder, is it a more appropriate choice to set the corresponding extents's static values based on whether Integrals... is integral_constant? For example
mdspan ms(ptr, integral_constant<size_t, 2>{},
integral_constant<size_t, 3>{},
4,
integral_constant<size_t, 5>{});
which will be deduced as mdspan<int, extents<size_t, 2, 3, dynamic_extent, 5>>.
What do you guys think? Could this be considered an improvement?
