Hi!

For example, consider the following code snippet

Code:
minnlcstate state;

{
    std::vector<double> dataForC = ...;

    real_2d_array C;
    C.attach_to_ptr(dataForC, nRows, nCols);

    real_1d_aray CT = ...;

    minnlcsetlc(state, C, CT);
}

// At this point `dataForC` is no longer valid, and with it the pointer to which `C` was attached.
// Is it safe to delete data to which `C` was attached? I.e., does ALGLIB make a copy of object `C` that was passed to `minnlcsetlc`?
minnlcoptimize(state, ...);


Please answer the questions above minnlcoptimize in the code snippet.

Hi!

Yes, all ALGLIB functions copy data from and to parameters, but do not persistently store references to these parameters. After setlc() is done, you can do whatever you want with variables C and CT, there will be no dangling pointers.
