I am not sure what is the expected behaviour of a standard (STL style)
begin and end iterator for an object of dimension 0 but what I can say is
that resize(0) is not valid in blitz
You can check in blitz/array/resize.cc line 37 here there is a
precondition
BZPRECONDITION(length0 > 0);
so if you compile with BZ_DEBUG you will get an error.
Now there might be a need for a precondition in the construtor as well?
line 166 in blitz/array-impl.h?
Array(GeneralArrayStorage<N_rank> storage = GeneralArrayStorage<N_rank>())
: storage_(storage)
{
length_ = 0;
stride_ = 0;
zeroOffset_ = 0;
}
What do you think Julian?
