Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the quick response. In the broader project, the vector being
copied from is an Rcpp::NumericVector that contatenates vectorized versions
of a number of other objects that are integrated numerically using the
boost odeint solvers. I couldn't quite get the numerical integrators to
play nice with Armadillo objects, and in using std::copy I was trying to
avoid converting the vector 'v' to an arma::vec since I would have to
convert it back for further integration. Perhaps this was a mistake?
Still, I don't quite understand why armadillo row pointers don't work which
armadillo column pointers are fine.
Thanks,
Jon
