Constructs a span.

1) Constructs an empty span whose data() == nullptr and size() == 0. This overload only participates in overload resolution if extent == 0 || extent == std::dynamic_extent.
2) Constructs a span that is a view over the range [ptr, ptr + count); the resulting span has data() == ptr and size() == count. The behavior is undefined if [ptr, ptr + count) is not a valid range or if extent != std::dynamic_extent && count != extent.
3) Constructs a span that is a view over the range [firstElem, lastElem); equivalent to span(firstElem, lastElem - firstElem).
4-6) Constructs a span that is a view over the array arr; the resulting span has size() == N and data() == std::data(arr). These overloads only participate in overload resolution if extent == std::dynamic_extent || N == extent is true and std::remove_pointer_t<decltype(std::data(arr))>(*)[] is convertible to element_type (*)[]
7-8) Constructs a span that is a view over the range [std::data(cont), std::data(cont) + std::size(cont)); the resulting span has size() == std::size(cont) and data() == std::data(cont). The behavior is undefined if that is not a valid range or if extent != std::dynamic_extent && std::size(cont) != extent. These functions do not participate in overload resolution unless
9) Converting constructor from another span s; the resulting span has size() == s.size() and data() == s.data(). This overload only participates in overload resolution if extent == std::dynamic_extent || N == extent is true and U (*)[] is convertible to element_type (*)[].
10) Defaulted copy constructor copies the size and data pointer; the resulting span has size() == other.size() and data() == other.data().

Parameters

ptr, firstElem - pointer to the first element of the sequence
count - number of elements in the sequence
lastElem - pointer past the last element of the sequence
arr - array to construct a view for
cont - container to construct a view for
s - another span to convert from
other - another span to copy from

Exceptions

2-3) Throws nothing.
7-8) Throws what and when std::size(cont) and std::data(cont) throw.
