THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE, DO NOT REPLY.

A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - Jö Fahlke (joe)

Summary - Dune::array<T,n> has 'int' as the type for n while std::array has 'size_t'
Task Type - Bug Report

Operating System - Unspecified / All
Severity - Low
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - SVN (pre2.1)
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Dune's replacement implementation of array is declared as

  template<class T, int n>
  struct array;

The standard implementation is however declared as

  template<class T, size_t n>
  struct array;

This is problematic, since specializing for array will not work properly:

  template<class U>
  struct hurz;

  // this will *not* match the array imported from C++0x
  template<class T, int n>
  struct<array<T,n> >;

  // this will *not* match Dune's reimplementation of array
  template<class T, std::size_t n>
  struct<array<T,n> >;

I am reluctant to simply change this however.  There may actually be
specialisations in Dune which assume n is an 'int'.  We should check for those
before changing this.

There may also be similar specializations in user modules, but I guess there
is little we can do about those.
