Is there any particular reason why gsl should abort on gsl_vector_alloc( 0 ) and gsl_matrix_alloc( 0 )?
It is straightforward to construct a gsl_vector or matrix of size 0. And I think all the vector and matrix operations behave appropriately on such as vector or matrix: that is, they do not abort if the operation is meaningful, even if the result is undefined. There are occasions when it is useful to allow a vector of size 0. For example, it is easier to put a gsl_vector* in a struct and interrogate it with gsl_vector_size( s.vector ) than with s.vector == 0 ? 0 : gsl_vector_size( s.vector ). -- John D Lamb _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list Help-gsl@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
