#
layout_blas_packed is an mdspan layout mapping policy that represents a square matrix that stores only the entries in one triangle, in a packed contiguous format.
Its Triangle template parameter determines whether an mdspan with this layout stores the upper or lower triangle of the matrix.
Its StorageOrder template parameter determines whether the layout packs the matrix's elements in column-major or row-major order.

#
A StorageOrder of column_major_t indicates column-major ordering.
This packs matrix elements starting with the leftmost (least column index) column, and proceeding column by column, from the top entry (least row index).
3
#
A StorageOrder of row_major_t indicates row-major ordering.
This packs matrix elements starting with the topmost (least row index) row, and proceeding row by row, from the leftmost (least column index) entry.

[Note 1: 
layout_blas_packed describes the data layout used by the BLAS' Symmetric Packed (SP), Hermitian Packed (HP), and Triangular Packed (TP) matrix types.

Mandates:
  • (5.1)
    Triangle is either upper_triangle_t or lower_triangle_t,
  • (5.2)
    StorageOrder is either column_major_t or row_major_t,
  • (5.3)
    Extents is a specialization of std​::​extents,
  • (5.4)
    Extents​::​rank() equals 2,
  • (5.5)
    one of extents_type::static_extent(0) == dynamic_extent, extents_type::static_extent(1) == dynamic_extent, or extents_type::static_extent(0) == extents_type::static_extent(1) is true, and
  • (5.6)
    if Extents​::​rank_dynamic() == 0 is true, let be equal to Extents​::​static_extent(0); then, is representable as a value of type index_type.
