I suggest you to either 1. read on the operators "new" and "delete" or 2. use a std::vector to allocate the memory then use a boost::multi_array_ref to refer to it. Here's an example:

#include <vector>
#include <boost/multi_array.hpp>

int main()
{
  typedef float data_type;
  typedef std::vector<data_type> array_storage_type;
  typedef boost::multi_array_ref<data_type,3> array_ref_type;

  array_ref_type::size_type xDim(500), yDim(300), zDim(400);
  array_storage_type Storage(xDim*yDim*zDim);
  array_ref_type Array(&Storage.front(),boost::extents[xDim][yDim][zDim]);
  // You may now use Array as usual.
}

Hope it helps,

Hi all,

I have just started to use boost libs. I am trying to create a large
float array (mandatory for my purpose). it works fine till certain
limit, but crashes above that. I think it about allocating memory in the
stack.

My code is like this

typedefboost::multi_array<float,3>array_type;
typedefarray_type::indexindex;
array_typeArray(boost::extents[xDim][yDim][zDim]);//500,300,400 for instance

Can some one help me to resolve this?

I am not familiar with multi_array, but it seems that you are creating a >1GB object on the stack. This will almost always crash. Try creating it on the heap instead. Be prepared for std::bad_alloc.
