I'm afraid the sudden appearance of the blas dot for complex numbers problem is my fault.<br>
<br>
Traditionally since 199x we never used the complex dot product from blas because of the return complex type problem. VecDot_Seq() used #ifdef for complex and a simple loop.<br>
<br>
Since some blas norm suck I off-hand told Shri to use dot for norm and wasn't thinking the complex case.<br>
<br>
Since then, of course, the complex dot problem has been coming up.<br>
<br>
Maybe it is best to continue to never use complex blas dot and just change the VecNorm_ routines to use norm for complex and not dot.? Just throw away this silly problem and time sink?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>
I just pushed a fix for this. The pthread stuff will still have to be fixed since I can't build it.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
