Unnamed member access? [closed]

Question

I'm trying to understand this piece of C++ code from a text book:

template<typename T, int N>
struct Buffer {
  using value_type = T;
  constexpr int size() { return N; }
  T[N];
  // ...
};

It demonstrates stack allocation of the T[N] array, but the array is not named. Later in the text this declaration is made:

Buffer<int,10> buf;

but it's not clear how to access the array buried inside this struct. Does the //... have to include some accessors or is there some implicit facility of the language that can be used to get at the ints[10] that live within buf?

Answer 1

Maybe there some mistake, code does not even compile. So correct code would be like

template<typename T, int N>
struct Buffer {
using value_type = T;
constexpr int size() { return N; }
T b[N];
// ...
};

Edit: I tested it using gnu gcc 4.7.1 compiler in c++11 mode.
