Question about Vectors & Matrices

Question about Vectors & Matrices

[Daniel T Konkle]

The GSL library has data types for int, long, double, etc in the case of 
vectors and matrices.

Does it have a type for 'pointers' ?  I really/want to be able allocate a 
matrix that holds pointers so that I can use those pointers to allocate 
other things.  This way I could use the GSL functions to access those elements.

Is this even possible?  Is it as clear as mud?

Dear Daniel,
I have had the same need as well, and as current, the GSL doesn't have
support for arrays and vectors of pointers. What I do, though, is to use
GLIB:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/glib/

which has nice support for vector pointers and data structures. I believe
both libraries complement each other quite nicely.

(I have some GLIB vectors, GLIB linked lists and such of gsl
objects. Works well)
