I have a legacy code that statically allocates a very large 1-dimensional workspace array and then equivalences it to a 2-dimensional array of the same size because some subroutines require this workspace to be divided into 3 different parts. I want to convert the array to be dynamically-allocated, but I still need a way to address it both as buf(i) and buf2(i,j). Array reshaping seems to create a second array of a different shape, passing the values of the first array to the second. I want them to share memory space. Any suggestions would be helpful!
