Details: - Disabled error checking in netlib-to-BLIS parameter mapping functions. If the char value input to these functions was not one of the defined values, bli_check_error_code() with the appropriate error code value would be called, resulting in an abort(). This was unnecessary and redundant since these routines are currently only used within the BLAS compatibility layer, and they are only called AFTER parameter checking has already been performed on the original BLAS char values. If the application tried to override xerbla() to prevent an abort() from being called, this error checking would still get in the way. Thus, instead of reporting the error situation to the framework (ie: calling abort()), an arbitrary BLIS parameter value is now chosen and the function returns normally. Thanks to Jeff Hammond for finding and reporting this issue.
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!
