boost multi array dynamic size

Hi,

I whant to write an function (ore overloading the class) which is able
to trace out an row of the Array. So the function becomes an array of
Dim n and returns one of Dim n-1.

something like:
template <class T, class B>
boost::multi_array<T, B - 1* TraceOut(boost::multi_array<T, Ba,
int i){
//Summerize the values of a into a new array without to consider
different values in the i-th Row
}

I know that B-1 is not possible.. do you have any better idea?

THX

The expression (B-1) is perfectly ok, if you correctly declare
B as an ordinal template parameter (not as a type).

Something like the following should work:
template< class T, std::size_t N >
boost::multi_array<T,N-1>
TraceOut( boost::multi_array<T,Nconst& a, int i )
{ ... }
