Any std::span<T, N> constructor with a runtime length has a precondition that the length is equal to N (except when N == std::dynamic_extent).
Currently every constructor with a runtime length does: if constexpr (extent != dynamic_extent) __glibcxx_assert(n == extent); We can move those assertions into the __detail::__extent_storage<N> constructor so they are only done in one place. To avoid checking the assertions when we have a constant length we can add a second constructor which is consteval and takes a integral_constant<size_t, N> argument. The std::span constructors can pass a size_t for runtime lengths and a std::integral_constant<size_t, N> for constant lengths that don't need to be checked. The __detail::__extent_storage<dynamic_extent> specialization only needs one constructor, as a std::integral_constant<size_t, N> argument can implicitly convert to size_t. For the member functions that return a subspan with a constant extent we return std::span<T,C>(ptr, C) which is redundant in two ways. Repeating the constant length C when it's already a template argument is redundant, and using the std::span(T*, size_t) constructor implies a runtime length which will do a redundant assertion check. Even though that assertion won't fail and should be optimized away, it's still unnecessary code that doesn't need to be instantiated and then optimized away again. We can avoid that by adding a new private constructor that only takes a pointer (wrapped in a custom tag struct to avoid accidentally using that constructor) and automatically sets _M_extent to the correct value. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/std/span (__detail::__extent_storage): Check precondition in constructor. Add consteval constructor for valid lengths and deleted constructor for invalid constant lengths. Make member functions always_inline. (__detail::__span_ptr): New class template. (span): Adjust constructors to use a std::integral_constant value for constant lengths. Declare all specializations of std::span as friends. (span::first<C>, span::last<C>, span::subspan<O,C>): Use new private constructor. (span(__span_ptr<T>)): New private constructor for constant lengths. --- As suggested at https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-December/671431.html Tested x86_64-linux. libstdc++-v3/include/std/span | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/span b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/span index 67227348c90..e8043c02c9a 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/span +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/span @@ -73,10 +73,21 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION class __extent_storage { public: + // Used for runtime sizes that must satisfy the precondition. constexpr - __extent_storage(size_t) noexcept + __extent_storage([[maybe_unused]] size_t __n) noexcept + { __glibcxx_assert(__n == _Extent);
