Re: ublas::matrix sharing storage with ublas::vecto r

What do you mean by "just use it as" ?

For example.. I have a matrix<double> m(5,5);

In some code I actually need to use it as a 5x5 matrix.. but other parts
must reference it as a vector (to pass to another library).

Currently I am doing something like this

matrix<double> m(5,5);
// do stuff to m
vector<double> v(25);
v.data() = m.data();
// pass v to library
// get results back
m.data() = v.data();

This is obviously not optimal.. and if both m.data() and v.data() pointed to
the same location in memory the problem would be solved. 

I suppose I might be able to get around it by making my own storage class
that allows you to specify a location and size instead of allocating one
itself.
