std::span<T,Extent>::at
From cppreference.com
| constexpr reference at( size_type pos ) const; |
(since C++26) | |
Returns a reference to the element at specified location pos, with bounds checking.
If pos is not within the range of the span, an exception of type std::out_of_range is thrown.

Parameters
| pos | - | position of the element to return |
Return value
Reference to the requested element, i.e. *(data() + pos).
Exceptions

Complexity
Constant.

Example
Run this code
#include <chrono> #include <cstddef> #include <iostream> #include <span> #include <stdexcept> int main() { int x[]{1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6}; std::span data(x); // Set element 1 data.at(1) = 88; // Read element 2 std::cout << "Element at index 2 has value " << data.at(2) << '\n'; std::cout << "data size = " << data.size() << '\n'; try { // Try to set an element at random position >= size() auto moon_phase = [] { return std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count() % 8; }; data.at(data.size() + moon_phase()) = 13; } catch(const std::out_of_range& ex) { std::cout << ex.what() << '\n'; } // Print final values std::cout << "data:"; for (int elem : data) std::cout << ' ' << elem; std::cout << '\n'; }
Possible output:
Element at index 2 has value 4 data size = 6 std::out_of_range: pos (which is 8) >= size() (which is 6) data: 1 88 4 5 5 6
