ReadOnlyTensorSpan<T>.CastUp<TDerived> Method

Definition

Casts a read-only span of TDerived to a read-only span of T.

public:
generic <typename TDerived>
 where TDerived : class, T static System::Numerics::Tensors::ReadOnlyTensorSpan<T> CastUp(System::Numerics::Tensors::ReadOnlyTensorSpan<TDerived> items);
public static System.Numerics.Tensors.ReadOnlyTensorSpan<T> CastUp<TDerived> (System.Numerics.Tensors.ReadOnlyTensorSpan<TDerived> items) where TDerived : class, T;
static member CastUp : System.Numerics.Tensors.ReadOnlyTensorSpan<#'T> -> System.Numerics.Tensors.ReadOnlyTensorSpan<'T>
Public Shared Function CastUp(Of TDerived As {Class, T}) (items As ReadOnlyTensorSpan(Of TDerived)) As ReadOnlyTensorSpan(Of T)

Type Parameters

TDerived

The element type of the source read-only span, which must be derived from T.

Parameters

items
ReadOnlyTensorSpan<TDerived>

The source read-only span. No copy is made.

Returns

A read-only span with elements cast to the new type.

Remarks

This method uses a covariant cast, producing a read-only span that shares the same memory as the source. The relationships expressed in the type constraints ensure that the cast is a safe operation.
