compilation errors around string_span about gsl HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @beinhaerter,

I agree, string_span has been deprecated for a while now and can be removed except for the *zstring family definitions (basic_zstring, czstring, ...), so option (b) is my preference. Note, though, that there may be tests that need to be removed and/or ported to use gsl::span, that were previously using string_span. If the test porting is too big of a task to include here, that can be done later, since those tests are not testing supported functionality anyways.

Thanks,

Hi Dmitry,

when talking about string_span I was not precise enough, I meant class string_span, not file string_span. From what you write it looks like we agree on removing *class* string_spanand keeping the rest of *file*string_span`. I'll open a PR for that change.

Cheers
