Hi,
I see that CBLAS_INDEX is defined in cblas.h using the preprocessor:
/*
* Enumerated and derived types
*/
#define CBLAS_INDEX size_t /* this may vary between platforms */
Would you mind changing that #define to a typedef? I've just run
into a small problem writing a language binding (to Haskell) that
I believe others may run into as well. I use an actual C program to
generate those bindings, and it contains macros working like that:
#define make_equivalent_type c_type \
do_lots_of_stuff...
make_equivalent_type (CBLAS_INDEX)
This macro writes code that checks that type size, and also use
its name as a string to be used to actually write bindings files.
But since it's defined with the preprocessor, the type ended up
beeing considered a redefinition of size_t.
If there's no problem with the typedef, maybe it could help
prevent others from equivalent problems.
Thanks for your attention,
Maurício
