Can std::begin work with array parameters and if so, how?

Question

I have trouble using std::begin() and std::end() (from the iterator library) with c-style array parameters.

void SetOr         


        

Answer 1

While not directly answering your question (it has already been answered sufficiently by M M. and Dietmar Kühl), you appear to want to initialize some std::vector in this function. That said, why not just have:

std::vector v;
std::copy(std::begin(x), std::end(x), std::back_inserter(v));
// or std::copy(x, x + 3, std::back_inserter(v));

Instead of a function call to your function that is trying to do this?

Alternatively, you could write you function like this:

template
void SetOrigin(RandomIterator start, RandomIterator end)
{
    std::vector v;
    std::copy(start, end, std::back_inserter(v));
    SetOrigin(v);
}

and then call it using:

double xyz[3];
SetOrigin(std::begin(xyz), std::end(xyz));
