Detailed Description

template<class Tp> template class Ref

Ref is a reference to a value stored in a class Matrix.

Ref is used to implement copy on write for operations on individual coefficients of the matrix. The basic idea behind this is, that Matrix operator() returns a Ref<T> object for which then an overloaded operator is called. The overloaded operator itself calls a Matrix method which ensures that a unique copy of the Matrix data is obtained before modification. Ref is not supposed to be public, therefore its constructor is private. It is impossible to create an instance of a Ref object from anywhere but a method of one of the Matrix classes. Unfortunately though Ref has to declare all classes derived from Matrix<Tp> as its friend.
