Yes, of course. I've reattached an implementation I proposed here a couple of years ago. The reason why I'm asking is basically that it would require some "somersault" to make it work with VC6 and other broken compilers, so I woldn't spend time on that if there is no interest.
The attachment didn't come out properly for me. I think it's worth including. It's not all that uncommon; even Freenode/##C++'s channel bot has the following factoid: Don't use sizeof() to get the size of an array, because sizeof() will do the wrong thing if that 'array' is actually a pointer. Use the following instead: template <typename T, size_t N> size_t array_size(T (&)[N]) { return N; } Of course that one only works for the outermost dimension of the array and I have no idea whether it works in VC6 at all.
