Constructs an mdspan, optionally using user-supplied data handle p, layout mapping m, and accessor a. If extents exts or ext are supplied, they are converted to extents_type and used to initialize the layout mapping.

1) Constructs an empty mdspan. Value-initializes ptr_, map_, and acc_.

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, map_.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of ptr_ and acc_ for the values of map_ and acc_ after the invocation of this constructor.
• This overload participates in overload resolution only if

• rank_dynamic() > 0 is true,
• std::is_default_constructible_v<data_handle_type> is true,
• std::is_default_constructible_v<mapping_type> is true, and
• std::is_default_constructible_v<accessor_type> is true.

2) Constructs an mdspan over the underlying data referred by p with extents represented by exts.... Value-initializes acc_, direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with std::move(p) and map_ with extents_type(static_cast<index_type>(std::move(exts))...).

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, map_.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of ptr_ and acc_ for the values of map_ and acc_ after the invocation of this constructor.
• Let N be sizeof...(OtherIndexTypes). This overload participates in overload resolution only if

• (std::is_convertible_v<OtherIndexTypes, index_type> && ...) is true,
• (std::is_nothrow_constructible<index_type, OtherIndexTypes> && ...) is true,
• N == rank() || N == rank_dynamic() is true,
• std::is_constructible_v<mapping_type, extents_type> is true, and
• std::is_default_constructible_v<accessor_type> is true.

3,4) Constructs an mdspan over the underlying data referred by p with extents represented by pack exts. Value-initializes acc_, direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with std::move(p) and map_ with extents_type(exts).

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, map_.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of ptr_ and acc_ for the values of map_ and acc_ after the invocation of this constructor.
• This overload participates in overload resolution only if

• std::is_convertible_v<const OtherIndexTypes&, index_type> is true,
• std::is_nothrow_constructible<index_type, const OtherIndexTypes&> is true,
• N == rank() || N == rank_dynamic() is true,
• std::is_constructible_v<mapping_type, extents_type> is true, and
• std::is_default_constructible_v<accessor_type> is true.

5) Constructs an mdspan over the underlying data referred by p with extents represented by ext. Value-initializes acc_, direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with std::move(p) and map_ with exts.

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, map_.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of p and acc_ for the values of map_ and acc_ after the invocation of this constructor.
• This overload participates in overload resolution only if

• std::is_constructible_v<mapping_type, const mapping_type&> is true, and
• std::is_default_constructible_v<accessor_type> is true.

6) Constructs an mdspan over the underlying data referred by p with layout mapping m. Value-initializes acc_, direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with std::move(p) and map_ with m.

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, m.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of p and acc_ for the values of acc_ after the invocation of this constructor.
• This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_default_constructible_v<accessor_type> is true.

7) Constructs an mdspan over the underlying data referred by p with layout mapping m and accessor a. Direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with std::move(p), map_ with m and acc_ with a.

• The behavior is undefined if [​0​, m.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of p and a after the invocation of this constructor.

8) Converting constructor from another mdspan. Direct-non-list-initializes ptr_ with other.ptr_, map_ with other.map_ and acc_ with other.acc_.

• The behavior is undefined if :

• [​0​, map_.required_span_size()) is not an accessible range of ptr_ and acc_ for the values of map_ and acc_ after the invocation of this constructor, or
• for each rank index r of extents_type,    extents_type::static_extent(r) == std::dynamic_extent
  || extents_type::static_extent(r) == other.extent(r) is false.

• This overload participates in overload resolution only if

• std::is_constructible_v<mapping_type, const OtherLayoutPolicy​::
      ​template mapping<OtherExtents>&> is true, and
• std::is_constructible_v<accessor_type, const OtherAccessor&> is true.

• The program is ill-formed if:

• std::is_constructible_v<data_handle_type,
      const OtherAccessor​::​data_handle_type&> is false, or
• std::is_constructible_v<extents_type, OtherExtents> is false.

• The expression inside explicit is equivalent to:    !std::is_convertible_v<const OtherLayoutPolicy::
         template mapping<OtherExtents>&, mapping_type>
  || !std::is_convertible_v<const OtherAccessor&, accessor_type>

9) Defaulted copy constructor.

10) Defaulted move constructor.
