Assigning entire row in a 2d array?

[Tricky]

Now, if I had made an array of arrays like this:

type array1_t is array(0 to 9) of integer;
type array2_t is array(0 to 9) of array1_t;

variable A : array2_t;

I can do assignments like this:

A(1) := (others => 0);

now, if I do this instead

type array_t is array(0 to 9, 0 to 9) of integer;

is there anyway I can do something similar to above (neat and tidy)?
or do I have to do it inside a for loop (a little annoying)?

have you tried A := (others=>(others=>0)); ?

Yes, you need the loop.

The big advantage of true 2-d arrays such as (0 to 9, 0 to 9)
is that BOTH dimensions can be unconstrained. The big
disadvantage is that they don't really have rows or columns.
However, functions and procedures can smooth out those
wrinkles easily enough.

That wont work, you'd have to do A := (others =>0) and that would
assign the entire 2d array.

I just want to assign a single row to 0, not every element.
