Ref. to my last post and sellibitze's comment to that post on passing array by ref rather than by value, why is it that when I'm passing array by value compiler can deduce arguments but it won't do it if I pass it by value?

@Paul So just to make it clear when I'm declaring fnc:

void f(int a[]);//I'm passing a pointer

but when I'm declaring:

void f(int &a[]);//I'm passing a ref?

Do I understand this correctly now?
