Discussion:
It has been suggested that Table 96 — "Container requirements" makes confusing requirements for the destructor of std::array:
"note: the destructor is applied to every element of a; all the memory is deallocated." Since std::array obtains no memory, there is none to deallocate, arguably making it unclear what the requirement means for std::array::~array().[Issaquah 2014-02-11: Move to Immediate]
Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to N3691.
Change in 24.2.2.1 [container.requirements.general], Table 96 — "Container requirements", the "Assertion/note/pre-/post-condition" for the expression "(&a)->~X()" as indicated:
note: the destructor is applied to every element of a;
all theany memory obtained is deallocated.
