Hi!

is there a (possibly boost powered) way of distinguishing between const char* and const char[N]? [...] In addition to Dave's solution, it looks like if your overloads look like

void bar(char const *&); // note the & template< std::size_t N > void bar(char const (&)[N]);

then the latter will be selected when passed a string literal. Seems to work on MSVC9 anyway...

Never mind, forgot a "const" qualifier in the first overload (should be "char const * const &" to preserve desired behavior), which then doesn't solve the problem... Sorry for the spam, - Jeff
