Yes - Ari's suggestion makes good sense to me, too.

Cheers,

Thanks Rob,

Ari's suggestion in this thread makes sense to me ( 
https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/mailman/message/35813041/ ).  If PDL and 
Math::GSL passed their own error handlers then the behaviour in such cases 
could be more perlish.


Regards,
Shawn.

...and on further checking, the crash is not unique to PDL.  See below.

Checking every piddle for valid data before passing them on to GSL would be 
a major slow down, so perhaps a note in the docs would be useful. Unless 
this is misbehaviour by Math::GSL, of course.

Hi Shawn,

The error comes straight from the GSL library.
The PDL code accesses the GSL library directly - not via Math::GSL (which is 
not a prerequisite for PDL support of the GSL functions).

Cheers,
Rob
