I would submit a simple change request in the boost::array library.

I suggest to change: T* c_array() { return elems; }

Believe it or not, I was considering to submit the very same feature request. But go ahead: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/newticket (Please consider requesting a const overload as well!)
maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that we need the const overload since a T(&)[N] is implicitly convertible into a const T(&)[N] so { const int (&toto)[10] = (new boost::array<int,10>)->c_array() } should work.
Woudn't you need a const overload of c_array, if the original array is const? Or you only have a const reference to it? Bo Persson
