[Bug-gsl] Mistake in Reference manual

[Axel Hutt]

Dear all,

there is a mistake in the reference manual. In the
chapter about Monte-Carlo integration, section Interface

http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/ref/gsl-ref_23.html#SEC370 ,

the example

double
my_f (double x, size_t dim, void * p) {

should pass a pointer 'double* x' and not simply 'double x' .
In addition, few lines later the element 'function' in

F.function = &my_f;

does not exist in 'gsl_monte_function F'.

The correct element is simply 'f' . Hence the call

F.f = &my_f;

is correct instead.

In addition, I would like to add my deep thanks for
providing Monte-Carlo integration in GSL!


Axel
