How can I see a list of all functions in Julia Base, say with signature and
a one line description? At the moment I am looking through exports.jl. Thus
I found, e.g., quadgk which I not would have expected having seen
`integrate` in package Calculus before.
Julia> quadgk
quadgk (generic function with 3 methods)
How can I see the signature of these three methods? In quadgk.jl I only
found two function definitions for quadgk().
Calling the function (in Julia 0.2.0, on Mac OSX) I get
julia> quadgk(sin, 0, pi)
Warning: Possible conflict in library symbol dstev_
(2.0000000000000004,1.7896795156957523e-12)
What does this warning mean? I would like to understand though in Julia
0.3.0 (on Ubuntu Linux) this warning seems to have gone. By the way, Julia
here returns a more exact result 2.0, which I guess was not reached by
improving the algorithm.
Seeing the accuracy of the result, the error term is much too large. But
having written my own version of Gauss-Kronrod (in R) I know it's not
obvious how to improve on that.
In helpdb.jl, quadgk has a distinctly longer description than most other
entries. How can I better exploit this "help database" (online)?
