That's what I thought... What forbids the compiler from optimizing away the test on n value, during the template instantiation process?

hi,
I have a template function

compiler tries to compile the "trinomial code" code even when the template
is instantiated with n=2, and that gives warnings because of array[2]
Is there a way to make the compiler ignore the non-binomial code ? rds,
You'll have to split it out into a separate function and use template
specialization/overload resolution.
template<int n>
void do_n_specific_code(double (&array)[n]);
