Sorry, missed the point about taking a const array by reference. On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 1:15 AM, Christian Schladetsch < christian.schladetsch@gmail.com> wrote:

gcc 3.2 doesn't compile this code (works with gcc 3.3 and up):

Reduced:
template <unsigned N, class T, class V> inline V evaluate_polynomial(const T(&a)[N], const V& val)
I will be wrong linguistically, but I hate the definition of 'a' here. What is it to be? I assume it is a reference to an array, I guess. But then why not just take a reference to the first element and a count, or use a range (pointer + size)?
Sorry, I don't know anything about boost/math/distributions. But this kind of non-problem being a problem is in fact, a problem.
If 'a' is just an array, say it like it is. Why make a fuss?
