NAME

std::slice_array - std::slice_array

Synopsis

Defined in header <valarray>
template< class T > class slice_array;

std::slice_array is a helper template used by the valarray subscript operator with
std::slice argument. It has reference semantics to a subset of the array specified
by the std::slice object.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>

void identity() { clear(); diagonal() = 1; }
int& operator()(int x, int y) { return data[dim * y + x]; }

std::slice_array<int> diagonal() {
return data[std::slice(0, dim, dim+1)];
}
std::slice_array<int> secondary_diagonal() {

}
std::slice_array<int> row(std::size_t row) {

}

}
