Discussion:
Class <array>
is the only sequence container class that has no
types pointer
and const_pointer
defined. You might argue that
this makes no sense because there is no allocator support, but on the other
hand, types reference
and const_reference
are defined for
array
.
[ 2010-02-11 Moved to Tentatively Ready after 6 positive votes on c++std-lib. ]
Proposed resolution:
Add to Class template array 24.3.8 [array]:
namespace std { template <class T, size_t N > struct array { ... typedef T value_type; typedef T * pointer; typedef const T * const_pointer; ... }; }
