I recently discovered the multi_array, which was the answer to my prayers:
typedef boost::multi_array<string, 2> ExpressionArrayType; ExpressionArrayType exprTable(boost::extents[extreme_row][extreme_col]);
But now I need more functionality, which can be either:
(1) Erase the current "exprTable" and create a new one, with different dimensions.
Do you mean different dimensionality? The dimensionality is part of the type and determined at compile time. Different dimensionality requires a different type.
(2) Resize the current dimensions.
Doesn't this explain resizing?

Thanks, Jeff! The snippet below is along the lines of what I am trying to accomplish. I read in TFM :-) that there is a destroy method (?), but I have never need those (until now). -Ramon -------------- #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <boost/multi_array.hpp> using namespace std; typedef boost::multi_array<string, 2> ExpressionArrayType; void new_array(int rows, int cols) { ExpressionArrayType exprTable(boost::extents[rows][10-rows]); cout << "size is: " << exprTable.size() << "x" << exprTable[0].size() << endl; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { for (int row = 1; row < 8; row++) { new_array(row, row); } return 0; }
