FGSL

Short Description: Fortran interface to the GNU Scientific Library

Long Description:
FGSL - Fortran Interface to GSL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the first beta release for the Fortran interface to the GNU scientific library. It is based on version 1.8 of GSL, but should also work with later releases apart from missing API calls. Fixes since second alpha and new features: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * augmented error treatment * additional compilers added to configure script * more fgsl_sizeof specifics * extended (but not finished) manual * testing much extended and many bugs/missing symbols fixed: - special functions - permutations and combinations - integration - permutations and combinations - sorting - random numbers (partially) - histograms (partially) Fixes since first alpha and new features: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * statistics functions not exported, fixed * changed permutation/combination data access to return a fortran pointer to enable referencing original data * added further examples, nearly all from C are now mirrored * added fgsl_sizeof generic, often needed for API calls with C polymorphic arguments * the build process has been improved While this release supports a large subset of GSL functionality, there are a number of things missing still: * for the most part, no generics yet for varying types and kinds * no support for linear algebra and FFT since these are covered by LAPACK, BLAS and FFTW, respectively * 1d and 2d vector/matrix API is not explicitly supported, but mapping routines to Fortran arrays and pointers are available * no support yet for non-interoperable function and polymorphic arguments. This will be done once the compilers are ready. * the test suite is still incomplete * the build process needs further refinement
