Members

Member name	Value	Description
ReadOnly	0	The object is not modified. The components of the subvector or matrix are only read.
Writable	1	The object may be intentionally modified. The components of the subvector or matrix may be written to, changing the original data. When applied to a parameter, this value indicates that the method is intended to have a side-effect on the parameter.
Copy	2	A copy of the object should be created. The subvector or matrix is a copy of the data.
Destroy	2	Equivalent to Copy. It indicates that the original contents of a parameter may be destroyed.

Remarks

Use the Intent enumeration to specify the intended use of an object or parameter.

Passing objects or creating references to objects (such as rows or columns of matrices) can be expensive if it is not known in advance how the object or reference will be used. Conversely, having this knowledge enables certain optimizations.
