RE: [pooma-dev] RFA: DomainIterator.h: Add DomainTraits Specializ ation

[James Crotinger]

Actually, will the problem be fixed if you include DomainTraits.h and DomainTraits.int.h in Array.h and NewField/Field.h? These look like the culprits - they define these ViewN structs, which make use of the DomainTraits template, but the DomainTraits template and its specializations are never included. Further, these are used to implement the generic operator(), which is the main place where we need to detect if someone is passing an int as an argument.

(The general DomainTraits template is always included implicitly by the client who uses a particular Domain, but the int specialization is not - I don't know why this works with other compilers.)
