std::array Container in C++20
Explore how C++20 improves array handling by introducing std::to_array for creating std::array objects from arrays, initializer lists, or C-strings. Understand how std::make_shared now supports creating shared pointers to arrays with customizable initialization. Gain practical insights to write clearer and safer code using these container enhancements.
We'll cover the following...
C++20 offers two convenient ways to create arrays. std::to_array creates a std::array and std::make_shared allows it to create a std::shared_ptr of arrays.
std::to_array
std::to_array creates a std::array from an existing one-dimensional array. The elements of the created std::array are copy-initialized from the existing one-dimensional array.
The one-dimensional existing array can be a C-string, a std::initializer_list, or a one-dimensional array of ...
