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 test.cpp:1:
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]')
           abstract_value_type operator()( difference_type at ) const
           ^
test2.cpp:11:5: note: in instantiation of template class 'boost::iterator_range<char const (*)[4]>' requested here
    one_element_range(""foo"");
    ^
}}}

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
