Re: [Numerator-discuss] GSL#

[<end...@co...>]

Antonio - 
I'll zip up and send you what I have for the GSL binding as soon as I 
get a chance (will be this week), allong with some documentation.

Essentially, I have manually created bindings for most of the GSL functions, 
and I started creating some nice wrapper classes. These wrapper classes
are all structs, so they are allocated and destroyed quickly and with
no overhead on the stack. 

Thanks for the info about swig, I have not heard of them before, but
sounds like exactly what is needed to create an auto bindig to GSL.
I definitly think that using a tool to auto-generate bindings to GSL
is the way to go. Then, once a low level binding exists, it is easy to 
create wrapper classes to help manage the use of GSL resources.

Currently, I am working on getting the scheme / MathML interpreter 
running as soon as possible, so I really do not have much time to
devote to the GSL binding.
