Re: [Boost-users] Is there an elegant way to initialize an instanceof boost::any with a C-style string constant?

I don't know, but it makes sense to me: an array is not just a pointer! boost::any always stores a /copy/ of its constructor argument or assignment argument. So /if/ it would support built-in arrays, I think it should copy their elements internally.

A C++ programmer expects that a pointer is being passed everywhere where he is passing an array argument.
