Re: [Boost-users] multi_array with large dimensions crashes

24 Aug 2011

      You mean 500,300,400 are the required dimesnions and xDim,yDim,zDim are
site_type parameters.

So the code should be like below I guess for an array of [x][y][z]

array_ref_type::size_type xDim(x), yDim(y), zDim(z);
  array_storage_type Storage(xDim*yDim*zDim);
  array_ref_type Array(&Storage.front(),boost::extents[xDim][yDim][zDim]);

Thanks

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.

But how to do this? I am new to c++.
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 
int main()
{
  typedef float data_type;
  typedef std::vector array_storage_type;
  typedef boost::multi_array_ref 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?
