numpy.may_share_memory()

Determine if two arrays might share memory

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.

Examples

>>> 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
