std::span<T,Extent>:: last

From cppreference.net
C++
Containers library
std::span
template < std:: size_t Count >
constexpr std:: span < element_type, Count > last ( ) const ;
(1) (since C++20)
constexpr std:: span < element_type, std:: dynamic_extent >
last ( size_type count ) const ;
(2) (since C++20)

Obtains a subview over the last Count or count elements of this span.

1) The element count is provided as a template argument, and the subview has a static extent.
If Count > Extent is true , the program is ill-formed.
2) The element count is provided as a function argument, and the subview has a dynamic extent.

If Count > size ( ) or count > size ( ) is true , the behavior is undefined.

(until C++26)

If Count > size ( ) or count > size ( ) is true :

  • If the implementation is hardened , a contract violation occurs. Moreover, if the contract-violation handler returns under “observe” evaluation semantic, the behavior is undefined.
  • If the implementation is not hardened, the behavior is undefined.
(since C++26)

Contents

Parameters

count - the number of the elements of the subview

Return value

1) std:: span < element_type, Count > { data ( ) + ( size ( ) - Count ) , Count }
2) std:: span < element_type, std:: dynamic_extent > { data ( ) + ( size ( ) - count ) , count }

Example

Run this code 
#include <iostream>
#include <span>
#include <string_view>
void println(const std::string_view title, const auto& container)
{
    std::cout << title << '[' << std::size(container) << "]{ ";
    for (const auto& elem : container)
        std::cout << elem << ", ";
    std::cout << "};\n";
};
void run(std::span<const int> span)
{
    println("span: ", span);
    std::span<const int, 3> span_last = span.last<3>();
    println("span.last<3>(): ", span_last);
    std::span<const int, std::dynamic_extent> span_last_dynamic = span.last(2);
    println("span.last(2): ", span_last_dynamic);
}
int main()
{
    int a[8]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
    println("int a", a);
    run(a);
}

Output: 

int a[8]{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, };
span: [8]{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, };
span.last<3>(): [3]{ 6, 7, 8, };
span.last(2): [2]{ 7, 8, };
