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

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | span
 
 
 
 
constexpr size_type size_bytes() const noexcept;
(since C++20)

Returns the size of the sequence in bytes.

[edit] Return value

size() * sizeof(element_type).

[edit] Example

#include <cstdint>
#include <iostream>
#include <span>
 
constexpr static std::int32_t a[]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
constexpr static std::span s{a};
 
static_assert
(
    sizeof(int32_t) == 4 &&
    std::size(a) == 5 &&
    sizeof a == 20 &&
    s.size() == 5 &&
    s.size_bytes() == 20
);
 
int main()
{
    // typically, a static span holds only a pointer:
    std::cout << sizeof(s) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

8
