Re: [eigen] cast ArrayXd* to ArrayXXd*

[Holger Herrlich <holgerherrlich05@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, i eventually choose to use parameter by reference instead of
allocating myself. Besides that this is (marginally) faster than return
values and it matches on overloading. Also guess it's kinda state of the
art in C++.

Python:
I will not direct access the methods but copy into a NumPy-Array such
that the values are owned by Python. However that wasn't clear at the
beginning. Cause of that I avoided "call by reference" guessing to have
to create the array previously at Python.

Thanks Holger
