I don't get it. wchar_t should be a distinct type, in particular *different* from int. What compiler are you using ?

I'm using CodeWarrior 8.3 on Mac OS X, but in a mode where I use the Apple/gcc headers. wchar_t is #defined to be int (not even a typedef which wouldn't help anyhow).

Its crappy, but boost::range_detail::array_end<int>( my_array ) will pick the index based computation.

Thanks, I kind of came up with that also. I'm going to put a new function in a different namespace that will only forward to this interface. ...Duane
