Well, assuming you talk of the AlterVector function, it expects a
pointer and you pass a pointer. v1 and v2 are *pointers* to gsl_vector
"objects".

Well, personally I would do it with the following function header:

void AlterVector(gsl_vector *v1, const gsl_vector *v2) {
   /* Code altering v1 and *only* reading v2.*/
}
