This simple test fails to compile on gcc-3.3.3. Any thoughts?

Adding these specializations fixes the variable size array problem, at least with gcc-3.4. Is there a reason for not using these? ---------------------------------------- template< typename T > inline const T* begin( const T* array) { return array; } template< typename T > inline T* begin( T* array) { return array; } ----------------------------------------- collections has the more complex: template< typename T, std::size_t sz > inline const T* begin( const T (&array)[sz] ) { return array; } template< typename T, std::size_t sz > inline T* begin( T (&array)[sz] ) { return array; } -------------------------------------------
