Hi, While using multi_array, I found I frequently need a way to view some memory which is a multi-dimensional array and I don't know the type of the element, but I know its size and I know that this element has a member of the type I need (and I know the offset). So I need to be able to write something like struct A { double x, y; }; void* p = mmap(...); size_t el_size = size_of_element_in_p; size_t offset = offset_of_A_inside_element; boost::multi_array_typed_view<A, NumDims> my_view(p, extents, el_size, offset ); and have a standard multi_array-compatible interface. Also, with existing multi_arrays of known types, this feature will give a way to create views of element's members (the closest we have now is a strided view but it only works if the element size is a multiple of the member size). I filed a Feature Request for multi_array (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6073), but I wonder if there are any other possibilities around, and I'd also like to know what the community think of necessity of this feature. Thanks, Maxim
