如何在不使用指针的情况下编写对10个整数的数组的引用？

Question

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but for some reason I can't understand how to do it.

I tried to write code that makes the most sense for me, but it's not working:

int numbers[10]{};

int& numbers_ref  { numbers };   // nope
int  numbers_ref& { numbers };   // nope 
int& numbers_ref  { &numbers };  // nope
int  numbers_ref& { &numbers };  // nope

Edit: I tried using [] but I still couldn't get it working without using auto :

int& numbers_ref[]  { numbers };   // nope
(int  numbers_ref[])& { numbers };   // nope 
(int numbers_ref[10]) &  { numbers };  // nope
int []numbers_ref& { &numbers };  // nope

The only way I can get a reference is what P0W said:

auto& numbers_ref= numbers;  // yay

PS Thank you chris , this is exactly what I wanted, but couldn't guess the syntax:

int (&numbers_ref)[10] = numbers;  // exactly right! 

Answer 1

typedef int numbers_type[10];
numbers_type& numbers_ref = numbers;

Edit: (As suggested by chris)

int (&numbers_ref) [10] = numbers; // If you don't want typedef 

In C++11 :

auto& numbers_ref= numbers;
