    string *ps = use_sentinel(sa, sa+4, sa[2]);

    cout << "ps=" << ps << " pd=" << pd << " pi=" << pi << endl;

    return 0;
}

输出：

Hello, Hal. I don't like your Girlfriend. I know her address: 0x1b1b70 Where's 4? Oh, here it is: 0x72fc6c ps=0x72fbb0 pd=0x72fc08 pi=0x72fc3c   添加另一个函数：

template <typename elemType>
const elemType * find_ver5(const elemType *first,
            const elemType *last, const elemType &value )
{
    if ( ! first || ! last )
        return 0;

    // while first does not equal last,
    // compare value with element addressed by first
    // if the two are equal, return first
    // otherwise, increment first to address next element

    for ( ; first != last; ++first )
        if ( *first == value )
            return first;

    return 0;
}

main函数中需要这么定义，加const。
const int *pi = find_ver5(ia,ia+8,ia[3]);
否则无法编译通过。
