Details: - Relaxed the constraint in bli_obj_attach_buffer_check(), which required the buffer address being attached to be non-NULL. This is acceptable because the user was already able to create and use objects with NULL buffers (via bli_obj_create_without_buffer(), which initializes the buffer to NULL). - Inserted calls to newly defined function, bli_check_object_buffer(), into nearly all operations' _check() or _int_check() functions. This allows BLIS to abort peacefully if a computational routine is called with an object containing a NULL buffer. By contrast, under such conditions, BLAS would typically fail with a segmentation fault. - Within operation front-ends, moved the calls to _check()/_int_check() so that zero dimensions are checked first (and if found, execution returns with trivial or no computation). This resolves issue #7. Thanks to Jack Poulson for reporting this bug.
BLIS framework
README
---
Thank you for deciding to try out the BLIS framework!
BLIS is a portable framework for instantiating BLAS-like libraries. The
framework was designed to isolate essential kernels of computation that,
when optimized, immediately enable optimized implementations of most of
its commonly used and computationally intensive operations.
BLIS has many features. For more detailed information about the project,
please check the BLIS homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/blis/
You can keep in touch with developers and other users of the project by
joining one or more of the following mailing lists:
o blis-announce - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-announce
Used only for announcements and other important messages regarding
BLIS.
o blis-discuss - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-discuss
Please join and post to this mailing list if you have general questions
or feedback regarding BLIS. Application developers (end users) should
probably post here.
o blis-devel - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-devel
Please join and post to this mailing list if you are a BLIS developer
(i.e., you are trying to use BLIS to create libraries, you want to
write kernels for the framework, or you are trying to modify or extend
the framework itself).
Also, please read the LICENSE file for information on copying and
distributing this software.
For a step-by-step guide on configuring, compiling, and installing BLIS,
please read the INSTALL file. Also, please check the BLIS website's wiki
page for other useful how-to guides.
Thanks again for your interest in BLIS!
