Detailed Description

Fixed size stack-stored vnl_matrix.

Author:

Andrew W. Fitzgibbon, Oxford RRG, 04 Aug 96 vnl_matrix_fixed_ref is a fixed-size vnl_matrix for which the data space has been supplied externally. This is useful for two main tasks:

(a) Treating some row-based "C" matrix as a vnl_matrix in order to perform vnl_matrix operations on it.

(b) Declaring a vnl_matrix that uses entirely stack-based storage for the matrix.

The big warning is that returning a vnl_matrix_fixed_ref pointer will free non-heap memory if deleted through a vnl_matrix pointer. This should be very difficult though, as vnl_matrix_fixed_ref objects may not be constructed using operator new. This in turn is plausible as the point is to avoid such calls.
