Hello,
I have something like:
class A; boost::array<A*,10> the_array;
std::fill( the_array.begin(), the_array.end(), NULL );
Which wont compile (at least under Visual Studio 2005) without a cast for NULL... I've had this problem before and decided to try to find an easy cast free expressive solution for it.
I'm quite confused about what this whole thread is all about. I would simply write
std::fill(the_array.begin(), the_array.end(), 0);
and move on. What am I missing ?
I think the issue is that, although the literal "0" can be implicitly converted to a pointer, when passed to std::fill(), its type is deduced to be "int", at which point it can no longer be converted to a pointer. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
