Hey David, (mind blown).

Very interesting and useful trick!  My c++ brain didn't allow for this possibility.   Esthetically the misrepresentation of the array "shape" bothered me.   I found that I could be less bothered by changing one line and it still works!

int meta[2][0];

Thanks for playing!

Dana,

I realize that this example is a 2D array, but does this workaround accomplish what you want?

int meta[2][2];

[0, 1, 2, 3] @=> int b[];

[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] @=> int c[];

b @=> meta[0];

c @=> meta[1];

for (int i; i< b.size(); i++)

{ <<< " b["+i+"] ==", meta[0][i] >>>; }

for (int i; i< c.size(); i++)

{ <<< "c["+i+"] ==", meta[1][i] >>>; }

Santé,
