<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Exposes a <a href="ObjectWrapper.html#TypeWrapper-concept">TypeWrapper</a>
for the Python <a
href="http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/api/slice-objects.html">slice</a>
type.</p>
<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
<h3><a name="slice-spec"></a>Class <code>slice</code></h3>
<p>Exposes the extended slicing protocol by wrapping the built-in slice
type. The semantics of the constructors and member functions defined
below can be fully understood by reading the <a
href="ObjectWrapper.html#TypeWrapper-concept">TypeWrapper</a> concept
definition. Since <code>slice</code> is publicly derived from <code><a
href="object.html#object-spec">object</a></code>, the public object
interface applies to <code>slice</code> instances as well.<br>

<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Effects:</b> None.</dt>
<dt><b>Throws:</b> nothing.</dt>
<dt><b>Returns:</b>the parameter that
the slice was created with. If the parameter was omitted or
slice_nil was used when the slice was created, than that parameter will
be a reference to PyNone and compare equal to a default-constructed
object. In principal, any object may be used when creating a
slice object, but in practice they are usually integers.</dt>

<pre>
template <typename RandomAccessIterator>
slice::range<RandomAccessIterator>
slice::get_indicies(
RandomAccessIterator const& begin,
RandomAccessIterator const& end) const;
</pre>
<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Arguments:</b> A pair of STL-conforming Random Access
Iterators that form a half-open range.</dt>
<dt><b>Effects:</b> Create a RandomAccessIterator pair that defines a
fully-closed range within the [begin,end) range of its arguments.
This function translates this slice's indicies while accounting for the
effects of any PyNone or negative indicies, and non-singular step sizes.</dt>
<dt><b>Returns:</b> a slice::range
that has been initialized with a non-zero value of step and a pair of
RandomAccessIterators that point within the range of this functions
arguments and define a closed interval.</dt>
<dt><b>Throws:</b> <a href="definitions.html#raise">Raises</a> a Python <code>TypeError</code> exception if any of this slice's arguments
are neither references to <code>PyNone</code> nor convertible to <code>int</code>. Throws
<code>std::invalid_argument</code> if the resulting range would be empty. You
should always wrap calls to <code>slice::get_indicies()</code>
within <code>try { ...; } catch (std::invalid_argument) {}</code> to
handle this case and take appropriate action.</dt>
<dt><b>Rationale</b>: closed-interval: If
an open interval were used, then for step
size other than 1, the required state for the end iterator would point
beyond the one-past-the-end position or before the beginning of the
specified range.<br>
exceptions on empty slice: It is impossible to define a closed interval
over an empty range, so some other form of error checking would have to
be used to prevent undefined behavior. In the case where the
exception is not caught, it will simply be translated to Python by the
default exception handling mechanisms. </dt>
