I don't think the diagnostic would be very good if we say "adds array
bounds" though. How about being consistent with the existing error for
similar cases?
a.cc:4:17: error: invalid initialization of reference of type ‘int (&)[3]’ from
expression of type ‘int []’
int (&b)[3] = a;
^
In my latest patch the error message reads "cannot bind reference of type T to U due
to different array bounds".
It'd be trivial to adjust it if anyone hates that.
Works for me.
