<p>
        In odeint all system functions and observers are passed by value. For example,
        if you call a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">do_step</span></code> method
        of a particular stepper or the integration functions, your system and your
        stepper will be passed by value:
      </p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">rk4</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">do_step</span><span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">sys</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">t</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">dt</span> <span class="special">);</span>   <span class="comment">// pass sys by value</span>
</pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
        This behavior is suitable for most systems, especially if your system does
        not contain any data or only a few parameters. However, in some cases you
        might contain some large amount of data with you system function and passing
        them by value is not desired since the data would be copied.
      </p>
<p>
        In such cases you can easily use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ref</span></code> (and
        its relative <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cref</span></code>) which passes its argument by reference
        (or constant reference). odeint will unpack the arguments and no copying
        at all of your system object will take place:
      </p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">rk4</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">do_step</span><span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ref</span><span class="special">(</span> <span class="identifier">sys</span> <span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">t</span> <span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">dt</span> <span class="special">);</span>   <span class="comment">// pass sys as references</span>
</pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
        The same mechanism can be used for the observers in the integrate functions.
