[Help-gsl] Questions about the code of some functions in cblas implementation

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hi,
Surfing the source code of some functions of cblas implementation I found:
1- In source_scal_r.h, _c_s.h and _c.h I think that the sentence ix =
OFFSET(N, incX); is not needed because the functions only works when incX is
greater than 0 and, in this case, OFFSET(N, incX) allways returns 0.
2- I can see that, as in the original BLAS, *axpy functions has loop
unrolling by hand. Is this nessesary today with the optimizations of the
copiler? I can see in other functions of the gsl-cblas that unrolling is not
used (though in the original fortran BLAS is still used).
