8338,Iterator range does not work with pointer to array as iterator,Nathan Ridge,Neil Groves,"The following code:

{{{
#include <boost/range/iterator_range.hpp>

template <typename T>
boost::iterator_range<const T*> one_element_range(const T& t)
{
    return boost::iterator_range<const T*>(&t, &t + 1);
}

int main()
{
    one_element_range(""foo"");
}
}}}

fails to compile with the following error:

{{{

In file included from boost/range/iterator_range.hpp:13:
boost/range/iterator_range_core.hpp:349:12: error: function cannot return array type 'abstract_value_type' (aka 'char [4]')

test2.cpp:11:5: note: in instantiation of template class 'boost::iterator_range<char const (*)[4]>' requested here

I think this use case (pointer to an array as an iterator) should be supported.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,range,Boost Development Trunk,Problem,fixed,,
