// GraphBLAS allows all inputs to all user-accessible objects to be aliased, as
// in GrB_mxm (C, C, accum, C, C, ...), which is valid.  Internal routines are
// more restrictive.

// GB_aliased also checks the content of A and B
bool GB_aliased             // determine if A and B are aliased
(
    GrB_Matrix A,           // input A matrix
    GrB_Matrix B            // input B matrix
) ;

// matrices returned to the user are never shallow; internal matrices may be
bool GB_is_shallow              // true if any component of A is shallow
(
    GrB_Matrix A                // matrix to query
) ;
