I don't see the problem. boost::array is not a wrapper around an
existing array, it IS an array. In the same way, std::vector does not
take ownership of any existing memory you may want to initialise it
with.
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, why do scoped_array or
shared_array not serve in this case?
