## In a nutshell
**span lite** is a single-file header-only library to provide a bounds-safe view for sequences of objects. The library provides a [C++20-like span](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/span) for use with C++98 and later. If available, `std::span` is used, unless [configured otherwise](#configuration). *span-lite* can detect the presence of [*byte-lite*](https://github.com/martinmoene/byte-lite) and if present, it provides `as_bytes()` and `as_writable_bytes()` also for C++14 and earlier.
**Features and properties of span lite** are ease of installation (single header), freedom of dependencies other than the standard library. To compensate for the class template argument deduction that is missing from pre-C++17 compilers, `nonstd::span` can provide `make_span` functions. See [configuration](#configuration).
## License
*span lite* is distributed under the [Boost Software License](https://github.com/martinmoene/span-lite/blob/master/LICENSE.txt).
## Dependencies
*span lite* has no other dependencies than the [C++ standard library](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header).
## Installation and use
*span lite* is a single-file header-only library. Put `span.hpp` in the [include](include) folder directly into the project source tree or somewhere reachable from your project.
## Synopsis
**Contents**
[Documentation of `std::span`](#documentation-of-stdspan)
[Later additions](#later-additions)
[Non-standard extensions](#non-standard-extensions)
[Configuration](#configuration)
## Documentation of `std::span`
Depending on the compiler and C++-standard used, `nonstd::span` behaves less or more like `std::span`. To get an idea of the capabilities of `nonstd::span` with your configuration, look at the output of the [tests](test/span.t.cpp), issuing `span-main.t --pass @`. For `std::span`, see its [documentation at cppreference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/span).
## Later additions
### `back()` and `front()`
*span lite* can provide `back()` and `front()` member functions for element access. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
## Non-standard extensions
### Construct from container
To construct a span from a container with compilers that cannot constrain such a single-parameter constructor to containers, *span lite* provides a constructor that takes an additional parameter of type `with_container_t`. Use `with_container` as value for this parameter. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### Construct from `std::array` with const data
*span lite* can provide construction of a span from a `std::array` with const data. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### `operator()`
*span lite* can provide member function call `operator()` for element access. It is equivalent to `operator[]` and has been marked `[[deprecated]]`. Its main purpose is to provide a migration path.
### `at()`
*span lite* can provide member function `at()` for element access. Unless exceptions have been disabled, `at()` throws std::out_of_range if the index falls outside the span. With exceptions disabled, `at(index_t)` delegates bounds checking to `operator[](index_t)`. See the table below and sections [configuration](#configuration) and [disable exceptions](#disable-exceptions).
### `swap()`
*span lite* can provide a `swap()`member function. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### `operator==()` and other comparison functions
*span lite* can provide functions to compare the content of two spans. However, C++20's span will not provide comparison and _span lite_ will omit comparison at default in the near future. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration). See also [Revisiting Regular Types](#regtyp).
### `same()`
*span lite* can provide function `same()` to determine if two spans refer as identical spans to the same data via the same type. If `same()` is enabled, `operator==()` incorporates it in its comparison. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### `first()`, `last()` and `subspan()`
*span lite* can provide functions `first()`, `last()` and `subspan()` to avoid having to use the *dot template* syntax when the span is a dependent type. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### `make_span()`
*span lite* can provide `make_span()` creator functions to compensate for the class template argument deduction that is missing from pre-C++17 compilers. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).
### `byte_span()`
*span lite* can provide `byte_span()` creator functions to represent an object as a span of bytes. This requires the C++17 type `std::byte` to be available. See the table below and section [configuration](#configuration).

## Configuration
### Tweak header
If the compiler supports [`__has_include()`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/preprocessor/include), *span lite* supports the [tweak header](https://vector-of-bool.github.io/2020/10/04/lib-configuration.html) mechanism. Provide your *tweak header* as `nonstd/span.tweak.hpp` in a folder in the include-search-path. In the tweak header, provide definitions as documented below, like `#define span_CONFIG_NO_EXCEPTIONS 1`.
### Standard selection macro
\-D<b>span\_CPLUSPLUS</b>=199711L
Define this macro to override the auto-detection of the supported C++ standard, if your compiler does not set the `__cplusplus` macro correctly.
### Select `std::span` or `nonstd::span`
At default, *span lite* uses `std::span` if it is available and lets you use it via namespace `nonstd`. You can however override this default and explicitly request to use `std::span` or span lite's `nonstd::span` as `nonstd::span` via the following macros.
-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_SELECT\_SPAN</b>=span_SPAN_DEFAULT
Define this to `span_SPAN_STD` to select `std::span` as `nonstd::span`. Define this to `span_SPAN_NONSTD` to select `nonstd::span` as `nonstd::span`. Default is undefined, which has the same effect as defining to `span_SPAN_DEFAULT`.
### Select extent type
-D<b>span_CONFIG_EXTENT_TYPE</b>=std::size_t
Define this to `std::ptrdiff_t` to use the signed type. The default is `std::size_t`, as in C++20 (since v0.7.0).
### Select size type
-D<b>span_CONFIG_SIZE_TYPE</b>=std::size_t
Define this to `std::ptrdiff_t` to use the signed type. The default is `std::size_t`, as in C++20 (since v0.7.0). Note `span_CONFIG_SIZE_TYPE` replaces `span_CONFIG_INDEX_TYPE` which is deprecated.
### Disable exceptions
-D<b>span_CONFIG_NO_EXCEPTIONS</b>=0
Define this to 1 if you want to compile without exceptions. If not defined, the header tries and detect if exceptions have been disabled (e.g. via `-fno-exceptions`). Disabling exceptions will force contract violation to use termination, see [contract violation macros](#contract-violation-response-macros). Default is undefined.
### Provide construction using `with_container_t`
-D<b>span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER</b>=0
Define this to 1 to enable constructing a span using `with_container_t`. Note that `span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER` takes precedence over `span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER_TO_STD`. Default is undefined.
-D<b>span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER_TO_STD</b>=*n*
Define this to the highest C++ language version for which to enable constructing a span using `with_container_t`, like 98, 03, 11, 14, 17, 20. You can use 99 for inclusion with any standard, but prefer to use `span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER` for this. Note that `span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER` takes precedence over `span_FEATURE_WITH_CONTAINER_TO_STD`. Default is undefined.
### Provide construction from `std::array` with const data
-D<b>span_FEATURE_CONSTRUCTION_FROM_STDARRAY_ELEMENT_TYPE</b>=0
Define this to 1 to enable constructing a span from a std::array with const data. Default is undefined.
### Provide `operator()` member function
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MEMBER_CALL_OPERATOR</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide member function `operator()`for element access. It is equivalent to `operator[]` and has been marked `[[deprecated]]`. Its main purpose is to provide a migration path. Default is undefined.
### Provide `at()` member function
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MEMBER_AT</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide member function `at()`. Define this to 2 to include index and size in message of std::out_of_range exception. Default is undefined.
### Provide `back()` and `front()` member functions
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MEMBER_BACK_FRONT</b>=1 _(on since v0.5.0)_
Define this to 0 to omit member functions `back()` and `front()`. Default is undefined.
### Provide `swap()` member function
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MEMBER_SWAP</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide member function `swap()`. Default is undefined.
### Provide `operator==()` and other comparison functions
-D<b>span_FEATURE_COMPARISON</b>=0
Define this to 1 to include the comparison functions to compare the content of two spans. C++20's span does not provide comparison and _span lite_ omits comparison from v0.7.0. Default is undefined.
### Provide `same()` function
-D<b>span_FEATURE_SAME</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide function `same()` to test if two spans refer as identical spans to the same data via the same type. If `same()` is enabled, `operator==()` incorporates it in its comparison. Default is undefined.
### Provide `first()`, `last()` and `subspan()` functions
-D<b>span_FEATURE_NON_MEMBER_FIRST_LAST_SUB</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide functions `first()`, `last()` and `subspan()`. This implies `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN` to provide functions `make_span()` that are required for this feature. Default is undefined.
### Provide `make_span()` functions
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide creator functions `nonstd::make_span()`. This feature is implied by using `span_FEATURE_NON_MEMBER_FIRST_LAST_SUB=1`. Note that `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN` takes precedence over `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN_TO_STD`. Default is undefined.
-D<b>span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN_TO_STD</b>=*n*
Define this to the highest C++ language version for which to provide creator functions `nonstd::make_span()`, like 98, 03, 11, 14, 17, 20. You can use 99 for inclusion with any standard, but prefer to use `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN` for this. Note that `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN` takes precedence over `span_FEATURE_MAKE_SPAN_TO_STD`. Default is undefined.
### Provide `byte_span()` functions
-D<b>span_FEATURE_BYTE_SPAN</b>=0
Define this to 1 to provide creator functions `nonstd::byte_span()`. Default is undefined.
### Contract violation response macros
*span-lite* provides contract violation response control as suggested in proposal [N4415](http://wg21.link/n4415).
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_CONTRACT\_LEVEL\_ON</b> (*default*)
Define this macro to include both `span_EXPECTS` and `span_ENSURES` in the code. This is the default case.
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_CONTRACT\_LEVEL\_OFF</b>
Define this macro to exclude both `span_EXPECTS` and `span_ENSURES` from the code.
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG_CONTRACT\_LEVEL\_EXPECTS\_ONLY</b>
Define this macro to include `span_EXPECTS` in the code and exclude `span_ENSURES` from the code.
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_CONTRACT\_LEVEL\_ENSURES\_ONLY</b>
Define this macro to exclude `span_EXPECTS` from the code and include `span_ENSURES` in the code.
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_CONTRACT\_VIOLATION\_TERMINATES</b> (*default*)
Define this macro to call `std::terminate()` on a contract violation in `span_EXPECTS`, `span_ENSURES`. This is the default case.
\-D<b>span\_CONFIG\_CONTRACT\_VIOLATION\_THROWS</b>
Define this macro to throw an exception of implementation-defined type that is derived from `std::runtime_exception` instead of calling `std::terminate()` on a contract violation in `span_EXPECTS` and `span_ENSURES`. See also [disable exceptions](#disable-exceptions).

## Building the tests
To build the tests you need:
- [CMake](http://cmake.org), version 3.0 or later to be installed and in your PATH.
- A [suitable compiler](#reported-to-work-with).
The [*lest* test framework](https://github.com/martinmoene/lest) is included in the [test folder](test).
The following steps assume that the [*span lite* source code](https://github.com/martinmoene/span-lite) has been cloned into a directory named `./span-lite`.
1. Create a directory for the build outputs.
cd ./span-lite
md build && cd build
2. Configure CMake to use the compiler of your choice (run `cmake --help` for a list).
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DSPAN_LITE_OPT_BUILD_TESTS=ON ..
3. Optional. You can control above configuration through the following options:
`-DSPAN_LITE_OPT_BUILD_TESTS=ON`: build the tests for span, default off
`-DSPAN_LITE_OPT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF`: build the examples, default off
4. Build the test suite.
cmake --build .
5. Run the test suite.
ctest -V
All tests should pass, indicating your platform is supported and you are ready to use *span lite*.
