The obvious way to do this is // to use two arguments, a pointer to the first element and an element count: // // bool Contains17(const int* arr, size_t size) { // for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i) { // if (arr[i] == 17) // return true; // } // return false; // } // // This is flexible, since it doesn't matter how the array is stored (C array, // std::vector, rtc::Buffer, ...), but it's error-prone because the caller has // to correctly specify the array length: // // Contains17(arr, arraysize(arr)); // C array // Contains17(&arr[0], arr.size()); // std::vector // Contains17(arr, size); // pointer + size // ... // // It's also kind of messy to have two separate arguments for what is // conceptually a single thing. // // Enter rtc::ArrayView. It contains a T pointer (to an array it doesn't // own) and a count, and supports the basic things you'd expect, such as // indexing and iteration. It allows us to write our function like this: // // bool Contains17(rtc::ArrayView arr) { // for (auto e : arr) { // if (e == 17) // return true; // } // return false; // } // // And even better, because a bunch of things will implicitly convert to // ArrayView, we can call it like this: // // Contains17(arr); // C array // Contains17(arr); // std::vector // Contains17(rtc::ArrayView(arr, size)); // pointer + size // Contains17(nullptr); // nullptr -> empty ArrayView // ... // // One important point is that ArrayView and ArrayView are // different types, which allow and don't allow mutation of the array elements, // respectively. The implicit conversions work just like you'd hope, so that // e.g. vector will convert to either ArrayView or ArrayView, but const vector will convert only to ArrayView. // (ArrayView itself can be the source type in such conversions, so // ArrayView will convert to ArrayView.) // // Note: ArrayView is tiny (just a pointer and a count) and trivially copyable, // so it's probably cheaper to pass it by value than by const reference. template class ArrayView final { public: using value_type = T; using const_iterator = const T*; // Construct an empty ArrayView.
