[Boost-users] [boost-users][array] Passing by reference

I'm wanting to pass a boost::array by reference to a function. Normally, this isn't a problem. My first approach yielded a compiler error stating boost::array needs template parameters. When adding the template parameters (approach 2) the compiler then states boost::array needs T to be a compile time constant. I want the function to be able to take different boost::array sizes. Can boost::array be passed by reference without knowing the size of the array at compile time? Any help would be great. Ryan Approach 1 void extract (boost::array & var) {} Approach 2 template void extract (boost::array & var) {}
