Maybe you should just wrap boost::array:

How?
};
You can't construct the base boost_array in the base class initialization list of the constructor (because boost_array doesn't have a constructor that takes arguments), and by the time you get into the body of the my_array constructor it is too late - the boost_array is already default constructed. Having said which, personally I think that a seperate class with constructors would be better than adding another template class to boost::array. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
