I'm not totally sure I've understood -- probably not knowing me (so sorry in
advance for telling you what you already know!)...

but why not just populate the array with the appropriate values using a
'for' loop when ever required, eg (if you want the same values as your
example):-

    int array[20480], *int_ptr;

    for ( int_ptr = &array[0]; int_ptr < &array[9]; int_ptr++ )
       {
       *int_ptr = 0;
       }
    for ( ; int_ptr < &array[20480]; int_ptr++ )
       {
       *int_ptr = 1;
       }




Also don't forget that you can set-up a pointer and use it just like it's an
array, perhaps that may provide the extra flexability you need eg:-

    int array[20480], *false_array;
    false_array = &array[0];

    test_value = false_array[22] + false_array[29];  // for example
