Comment(by pbristow):

 Replying to [comment:1 danieljames]:
 > I can probably change the parameter name 'array', but it'd be really
 helpful if you could post a small example that triggers the warning, as I
 don't understand why it's a nonstandard extension.

 This comes from very deep within code, so I have no idea how to create a
 simple example. The complaint is

 "formal parameter 'array' was previously defined as a type."

 I suspect reusing the name is not allowed by the Standard?  But compilers
 permit it.
 I recommend disabling the warning in this code unit if a name change looks
 dodgy.

 > The warning in reversible_ptr_container.hpp will need to be fixed in the
 ptr_container library, so you should create a separate ticket for that.

 I have created a new ticket for ptr_container #2644 making a similar
 complaint.
