What do tou mean by "it's too late"?
What I mean is, you can't construct the elements of the boost_array at that point.
Since the "construction" of boost::array is a no-op, you can just initialize it in the body my_array's contructors.
I guess it depends what you want to use my_array for. If you are trying to hold primitive types, then that wrapping works fine. If you are trying to hold objects of a class type that doesn't even /have/ a default constructor, then it just won't work! (and yes, you can put such objects in a boost_array on a compliant compiler).
I see. It's quite hard to see a solution to this without changing array. One might argue that aggregate initialization is less important when we can say array<int,4> = make_array<4>(1)(2)(3)(4); but I guess some people would be against that. -Thorsten
