Hi everyone,

is there any way to generically determine at compiletime whether an iterator or a boost range refers to contiguous memory?

i.e. &*(it+1) == (&*it)+1

some type trait like

is_contiguous<T *>::value == true
is_contiguous<vector<T>::iterator>::value == true
is_contiguous<std::list<T>::iterator>::value == false

?

AFAIK, not presently, but this has been discussed quite a bit in several past threads on the Boost developers list.
