Re: template function issue

Thanks for your clarification, Tim!

But, to pass an array is ok in C++. Can you try the following code please?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void Foo1 (char input[12])
{
    std::cout << typeid(input).name() << endl; // output char*

    input [0] = '1';

    return;
}

void Foo2 (char (&input) [12])
{
    std::cout << typeid(input).name() << endl; // output char [12]

    input [0] = '2';

    return;
}

void Foo3 (char* input)
{
    input [0] = '3';

    return;
}

int main()
{
    char buf[] = "Hello World";

    Foo1 (buf);

    cout << buf << endl; //output "1ello World"

    Foo2 (buf);

    cout << buf << endl; //output "2ello World"

    Foo3 (buf);

    cout << buf << endl; //output "3ello World"

    return 0;
}

regards,
George
