Subject: Re: [ublas] leading dimension for lapack bindings

Thank you Thomas.
Please allow for a couple more questions.
Want to use the bindings with mkl. Can I ? I thought I saw people
on the web claiming they could - no problem, they said.
Assuming this to be the case, can I also do it for the 64-bit builds?
If I do not use CLAPACK does this mean that I use the fortran interface ?
I have been assured from intel that mkl and clapack have the same
signatures.
The C API of mkl does not provide with the const qualifiers. Neither does
the CLAPACK.h - at least the
one I just checked upon in the web.
Can I hope that the const qualifiers I see in the bindings are a result of
some extra effort put
by the designers of the library (vary likely, some boost type "magic" ? ).
Btw, is there a way to overwrite the include <CLAPACK.h> ? (or just create
my dummy one, caling mkl.h ) ?
Finally, to answer your question, for mkl to work optimally and securely,
certain constraints on the
leading dimension need to be met - more than smple data allignment. This
forces me to define my matrix as
a range of a ublas matrix that I hold under the proverbial rug. Hence my
bind (no pun or maybe a little ;-))
Thank you very much for your help, which is invaluable given the scarcity of
documentation.
Apologies for imposing on a Fri afternoon,
Best Regards,
Petros

Of course it is smart enough.

I get the impression that you ask how to write a binding for your own matrix
type. That's quite easy, but hopefully won't be required...

Thomas
