Auxiliary LAPACK routines?

[SuperFluffy]

What is your opinion on having LAPACK Auxiliary Routines in the crate, i.e. those listed here: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawn41/node112.html ?

I was looking at _lassq right now, and noticed that it's not part of this crate. Is this intentional, or do you welcome PRs for this?

The idea with this and related crates is to follow closely lapacke.h by Netlib. If you need that auxiliary function, and it’s not in the header, I recommend defining it in your code and adding lapack-sys or lapack with an appropriate features activated in your dependencies; it should work.

It seems those auxiliary functions are provided not only in Netlib’s implementation but also in OpenBLAS, and one can also find them in Netlib’s reference. Do you know if those functions are a part of the Fortran interface only or the C one too (LAPACKE)? It’d be nice to find a C header with those functions defined.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am not aware of any C header files which expose these functions. I have opened an issue on the reference LAPACK to ask about this. :)

It seems the routines have been made available in 3.8.0 (November 2017).

I close this in favor of lapacke-sys/#1.
