numpy.may_share_memory — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

A return of True does not necessarily mean that the two arrays share any element. It just means that they might.

Only the memory bounds of a and b are checked by default.

np.may_share_memory(np.array([1,2]), np.array([5,8,9])) False x = np.zeros([3, 4]) np.may_share_memory(x[:,0], x[:,1]) True
