Convert a vector to fmalloc matrix metadata — as_fmalloc_matrix • Rfmalloc

Returns an existing vector re-typed as a matrix by installing matrix dimensions (and optional dimnames) as metadata.

Usage

as_fmalloc_matrix(x, nrow = NULL, ncol = NULL, dimnames = NULL, copy = TRUE)

Arguments

x: A vector.
nrow: Optional target row count.
ncol: Optional target column count.
dimnames: Optional dimnames for the resulting matrix.
copy: If TRUE (default), allocate a new fmalloc-backed matrix object. If FALSE, install metadata in place on the same fmalloc ALTREP payload without allocation (this also updates any aliases of x).

Value

A matrix object, backed by the same payload when copy = FALSE.
