PS I always forget that we have direct support in Rcpp::as<> for Armadillo
matrices. The examples reduces to three lines in C++, and you never need to
worry about row or column dimension, or memory allocation or deallocation:

  R> suppressMessages(library(inline))
  R> txt <- '
  +    arma::mat Am = Rcpp::as< arma::mat >(A);
  +    arma::mat Bm = Rcpp::as< arma::mat >(B);
  +    return Rcpp::wrap( Am * Bm );
  +    '
  R> mmult <- cxxfunction(signature(A="numeric", B="numeric"),
  +                      body=txt,
  +                      plugin="RcppArmadillo")
  R> A <- matrix(1:9, 3, 3)
  R> B <- matrix(9:1, 3, 3)
  R> C <- mmult(A, B)
  R> print(C)
       [,1] [,2] [,3]
  [1,]   90   54   18
  [2,]  114   69   24
  [3,]  138   84   30

Matrices A and B from directly initialise Armadillo matrices, and the result
can be returned directly.

Hth, Dirk
