   Hi all,   
      
   I need to know if a template class built on recursive inheritance has the   
   same layout as an array. More precisely,   
      
   template    
   class foo;   
      
   template    
   class foo {   
       T value;   
   };   
      
   template    
   class foo : private foo {   
       foo value;   
   };   
      
   This is a simplification and so it's important to state that the real foo   
   has no other non-static data members, it has no virtual methods and it   
   doesn't derive from anything else (apart from the inheritance from   
   foo seen above). However, T is unknown in advance. The question is:   
   can I be sure that foo has the same layout as T[N]?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   Cassio.
