RE: [pooma-dev] Pooma Code Failures

[Julian C. Cummings]

I just wanted to note that I looked at the failure of
dynamic_array_test5.  The cause of the failure is as 
noted in the code comments; namely that patch-specific 
destroy and copy requests using iterator pairs will
fail to compile if the iterators are not convertible
to const int*.  Apparently, the standard iterators in
gcc 3.x are not convertible to raw pointers, so this 
part of the test code fails.  If we skip this one line
of dynamic_array_test5.cpp using a #if 0, as suggested
in the code comments, the remainder of the code runs 
just fine under gcc 3.x.

I don't see any nice way of fixing this problem, unless 
we make separate DestroyEventCodes for IPDomain<int*>
and IPDomain<Iter>, so that we can dynamically cast the
ObserverEvent to the appropriate type of DestroyEvent.
We would have to protect this extra code with a macro
guard, to avoid the extra code in cases where there is
no difference between the standard iterator and a raw
int* or const int*.
