namespace rtc {

// Many functions read from or write to arrays. The obvious way to do this is
// to use two arguments, a pointer to the first element and an element count:
//
//   bool Contains17(const int* arr, size_t size) {
//     for (size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
//       if (arr[i] == 17)
//         return true;
//     }
//     return false;
//   }
//
// This is flexible, since it doesn't matter how the array is stored (C array,
// std::vector, rtc::Buffer, ...), but it's error-prone because the caller has
// to correctly specify the array length:
//
//   Contains17(arr, arraysize(arr));  // C array
//   Contains17(&arr[0], arr.size());  // std::vector
//   Contains17(arr, size);            // pointer + size
//   ...
//
// It's also kind of messy to have two separate arguments for what is
// conceptually a single thing.
//
// Enter rtc::ArrayView<T>. It contains a T pointer (to an array it doesn't
// own) and a count, and supports the basic things you'd expect, such as
// indexing and iteration. It allows us to write our function like this:
//
//   bool Contains17(rtc::ArrayView<const int> arr) {
//     for (auto e : arr) {
//       if (e == 17)
//         return true;
//     }
//     return false;
//   }
//
// And even better, because a bunch of things will implicitly convert to
// ArrayView, we can call it like this:
//
//   Contains17(arr);                             // C array
//   Contains17(arr);                             // std::vector
//   Contains17(rtc::ArrayView<int>(arr, size));  // pointer + size
//   Contains17(nullptr);                         // nullptr -> empty ArrayView
//   ...
//
// One important point is that ArrayView<T> and ArrayView<const T> are
// different types, which allow and don't allow mutation of the array elements,
// respectively. The implicit conversions work just like you'd hope, so that
// e.g. vector<int> will convert to either ArrayView<int> or ArrayView<const
// int>, but const vector<int> will convert only to ArrayView<const int>.
// (ArrayView itself can be the source type in such conversions, so
// ArrayView<int> will convert to ArrayView<const int>.)
//
// Note: ArrayView is tiny (just a pointer and a count) and trivially copyable,
// so it's probably cheaper to pass it by value than by const reference.
