Hi Eric,

just a question: It is possible to pass array objects with external linkage as template parameters, is there any way one can manipulate them at compile time? I am wondering, if one can pass begin and end iterator as template parameters and verify such a string. That might have real impact on compile time...

If I can use such a function:

tempalte<size_t N>

void array_len(char (&arr)[])

{}

I might be able to pass instantiated function template function to the template to calculate the string length and than I have begin and length of the string, and can apply recusion at compile time. What do you think about it?
