Subject: [Help-gsl] [PATCH] BUG FIX: allow NULL pointers in gsl_matrix_free, gsl_rng_free, gsl_vector_free
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 22:39:14 -0500 (EST)

Long standing C-language idiom allows one to pass NULL pointer
as an argument to various "free" functions (see "man free").
Unfortunately, GSL functions gsl_matrix_free, gsl_rng_free,
gsl_vector_free (and possibly several more) do not follow this
convention and will crash the program if called with NULL pointer.
This simple patch fixes the problem.
