Comment(by pbristow):

 Replying to [comment:5 marshall]:

 I haven't got 1.42 rc yet, but the code appears unchanged in trunk?

 I am still not clear if the warning should be suppressed (I suspect not
 suppressing is best) but the array docs should warn that to get an array
 with const values

  boost::array<const double, 2> stuff = { 1.2, 3.4}; // warnings

 so use instead

  const boost::array<double, 2> stuff = { 1.2, 3.4}; // No warnings.

 As Steven says, this is "because iterator::value_type is const double
 rather than double. "

 (But the docs appear to me to be in XML :-( so editing may be
 troublesome?).
