Hi,
Is there a way to initialize a std::tr1::array with a pre-allocated
built-in array in a copy-less assignment, such that both will point to
the same memory?

Yes, you can use 'placement new':

* * typedef array <int, 4A;
* * int init [] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
* * A& a = *new (init) A;
A may overflow init.
Of course, this is equivalent to

* * array <int, 4a = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Only with POD types. If you replace int with a non-trivial type, this
code will end up calling constructors twice and destructors only once.
