I'm no expert and can't be sure but at first glance I'd say no - even if the internal structures of both the `std::vector` and the `CValueArray` were identical, or if the `CValueArray` was just a simple wrap of a `std:vector`, it would be unsafe to do a type cast, especially if you had to modify the data afterwards.
If explicit conversion methods were provided by the Softimage API, like in the `CString` class, it probably would do a copy anyways of the entire array. Then it would possibly provide a pointer to the internal structure like what the `CString::GetWideString` method does. There might be a workaround to use CValueArray with OpenMP but unfortunately I don't know much about this (and don't have access to Softimage to try things out), sorry. Cheers! Christopher.
