1477	boost::sizer declaration ill-formed	anonymous	Thorsten Ottosen	"Since the acception of boost::range there exists the file /range/detail/sizer.hpp
(I think it was taken from still older history) which contains two overloads of sizer,
which are written as (I provide only the first overload):

template< typename T, std::size_t sz >
    char&
    sizer( const T BOOST_RANGE_ARRAY_REF()[sz] )[sz];

This declaration is ill-formed, because it corresponds to a function that returns an
array. The declaration should be fixed to say

template< typename T, std::size_t sz >
    char
    (& sizer( const T BOOST_RANGE_ARRAY_REF()[sz] ) )[sz];

(similarily for the other overload). Interestingly, the declaration is *not* contained in some detail(s) namespace, but you might consider this file to be part of the implementation. In this case another option could be to remove this file, although I would regret this choice. Note that boost is often quoted in the internet (including this sizer facility!) so it seems better to fix the declaration.
