Hi all, I'd like to obtain an N-dimensional MultiArray implementation given a base pointer, N extents, and N strides. My use case requires padding the stride in one dimension in a way seemingly not obtainable taking views of the usual boost::multi_array_ref. Code like the following would be ideal boost::array<std::size_t,3> extents = { 2, 3, 4 }; boost::array<std::size_t,3> strides = { 1, 2, 7 }; // Note 7 not 6 boost::scoped_array<int> raw(new int[extents[2]*strides[2]]); using boost::detail::multi_array::multi_array_view; multi_array_view<int,3> a(raw.get(), extents, strides); except that the appropriate constructor in multi_array_view is private (boost/multi_array/view.hpp:442). boost::detail::multi_array::sub_array would also be ideal if it's constructor was accessible(boost/multi_array/subarray.hpp:370). I can make either accessible by #defining BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS, but that's evil. Am I missing something in Boost.MultiArray? Or is there no publicly accessible way to provide a custom stride list? - Rhys
