std::strided_slice
<mdspan>
struct strided_slice;
An instance of every specialization of strided_slice is a slice specifier used in std::submdspan to select a subset of elements using a set of regularly spaced indices at a specified dimension in std::mdspan.
Each strided_slice object s is characterized by three data members: the offset index s.offset, the extent s.extent, and the stride s.stride.
Given that s.stride is greater than zero, the number of selected indices denoted by N is determined by 1 + (s.extent - 1) / s.stride if s.extent is nonzero, otherwise 0. The half-open interval from which indices will be selected is given by [s.offset, s.offset + s.extent). The sequence of selected indices is produced as follows: s.offset, ..., s.offset + (N - 1) * s.stride.
This class template has no base classes or declared members other than those shown below.

StrideType
[edit] Data members
offset_type (public member object)
extent_type added to offset used to define the upper bound of indices (public member object)
stride_type which is equivalent to the distance between two indices (public member object)
All these members are declared with [[no_unique_address]] attribute and have default member initializers where each data member is value initialized.
[edit] Notes
Every specialization of strided_slice is an aggregate class which allows aggregate initialization (including designated initialization) of data members (for instance, std::strided_slice{.offset = 2, .extent = 10, .stride = 3}).
The slice specification of strided_slice takes advantage of the data member extent, as opposed to other slice specifications that use end to indicate the upper bound value. This is because it can directly generate a static extent for subview of std::mdspan if both extent and stride are of types that satisfy integral-constant-like. This enables efficient extraction of subviews with static extents by mixing compile time values with a runtime value of offset.
