Re: [Boost-users] boost::multi_array equivalent for runtime number of dimensions

I only know at runtime the dimension and extends of a multidimensional array, though the number of dimensions is always < 10 for e.g.

Is there a container that allows this?

OvermindDL1 proposed to use boost.variant in thread called "question about multi_array use" (see there for a more complete code). for example: typedef boost::variant                                ,multi_array                ,multi_array                ,multi_array                ,multi_array                ,multi_array                ,multi_array                > multi_array_variant_t;

and he says that using boost.fusion will be even better. I didn't try it, but I would like to know if the solution really works well.

I have been using Boost.Fusion, I cannot recommend it enough, I have completely decoupled the sizes of things from what operates on them.
