[Numpy-discussion] Anyone have a well-tested SWIG-based C++ STL valarray <=> numpy.array typemap to share?

Yes! The point is this way I'm able to debug my C++ code plotting the 
array using matplotlib :)
That is cool ;).

Yep it is not robust at all because the valarray can be modify.
However, it is a a quite great way to plot an array in a C++ code. 
Nothing more.
If you want to try with shared pointers, maybe you should have a look at 
the boost lib.
