Discussion:
Class<array> is the only sequence container class that has notypespointer andconst_pointer defined. You might argue thatthis makes no sense because there is no allocator support, but on the otherhand, typesreference andconst_reference are defined forarray.
[2010-02-11 Moved to Tentatively Ready after 6 positive votes on c++std-lib.]
Proposed resolution:
Add to Class template array 23.3.3[array]:
namespace std { template <class T, size_t N > struct array { ... typedef T value_type;typedef T * pointer;typedef const T * const_pointer; ... };}
