For example: const boost::multi_array myarray(boost::extents[2][2]); boost::multi_array_ref myarrayref(myarray); myarrayref[0][1] = 2; IMO, trying to create a multi_array_ref from a const multi_array should fail to compile, only a const_multi_array_ref should work. Also, the reference doesn't include the public inheritance between multi_array, multi_array_ref, and const_multi_array in their class synopses. It is important because it seems to be the only reason you can do conversions from multi_array to multi_array_ref or const_multi_array_ref. " Bugs new Boost 1.40.0 multi_array Boost 1.39.0 Problem
