template specialization with array / unique_ptr

[Milian Wolff]

Hey there,

I'm currently trying to fix https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294306 . I've 
fixed the type_visitor to take the array into account, such that the 
specialization is properly created with T[]. But it doesn't seem to be 
possible to mark an identifier as "array" instead of e.g. pointer or 
reference. This seems to be required though to ensure that instantiation finds 
the proper template though I think. I wonder how to fix this... Esp. for 4.3 
without breaking the ABI for identifier, it doesn't seem to be possible - or?

Note: With my fix to type_visitor, unique_ptr<Foo>() will at least take the 
unspecialized version, i.e. the one with operator->(). But unique_ptr<int[]>() 
or similar will still break, since it cannot find the specialization with [] 
(see above).

Also regarding unique_ptr and probably other STL stuff: It uses SFINAE to 
figure out the return type (see unique_ptr::_Pointer) paired with decltype 
which doesn't seem to work yet... so more work ahead of me :-/

cheers
