multi_array, resize and default constructable
Dear all, from the documentation I read that if a multi_array is reshaped new elements are default constructed: "Resizing an Array The boost::multi_array class provides an element-preserving resize operation. ...Any new elements in the array are default constructed..." It is thus not possible providing a default fill element?

The default fill element is the default value of the type. For example, if you have a multi_array of doubles, on array construction (or resize) all new elements will be 0.0. You cannot change this value without changing the default value of the underlying type. Johann

I understand that, built in types are also defined for default construction.
However I had a need here to override that default. Looking at the
vector::resize(), it offers an overload function for specifying the fill
element.
The case I needed was soemthing likea std::pair
