Since you're passing the size into the derived constructor, why don't you
just pass it through to the base constructor?
class base
{
public:
    base(size_t array_size):size(array_size)
    {
        p_array.reset(new unsigned char[size]);
    }
private:
    size_t size;
    boost::shared_array<unsigned char> p_array;
};
class derived
{
public:
    derived(size_t array_size):base(array_size)
    {
    }
};
Will that work for you?
Exactly. Thank you.
