I’ve written some wrappers for GSL matrices and vectors and might can help if someone has a suitable project. While Rodney is right that there are some issues with creating a practical OO interface, C++ is not the same as OO and OO is not the same as operator overloading (assuming OO means object orientation). Another approach to wrapping GSL functions for C++ is to use shared pointers, namespaces and exceptions. Typically I might create a class gsl::vector that is an extended shared pointer and whose member functions look much like the original functions. The main benefit is not having to deallocate memory explicitly and only once. -- JDL _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list Help-gsl@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
