I'm proposing an array_ref and string_ref type for C++1y (the version of C++ after C++11). This repository holds the source code and tests for them.

The current paper is at http://cxx1y-array-string-ref.googlecode.com/git/paper.html.

Feel free to suggest changes through either email or pull requests.

If you don't work for Google, I'll need you to sign the appropriate contributor licence agreement before I merge your patch:

• If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA.
• If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work to this client library, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll add you to the official list of contributors and be able to accept your patches.
