Re: [boost] [array] how to construct boost::array as class member

I agree. I think this should go in the Array library, rather than boost.Assign.

Alisdair, do you agree?

It makes sense. I have thought about providing the functionality before, but didn't fancy getting on top of Boost PP to generate the overloads ;?) I will certainly look into this as something to do for Boost 1.35. In my ideal world, this would be spelled as make_tuple though, and tuples would be convertible to arrays. I don't think we can manage this in an acceptible manner without some changes to the initialization and POD rules. Actually, we could probably add a conversion operator to the tuple template, to convert to arrays. I am not sure that is such a great idea though. -- AlisdairM
