Hi,
Is it possible to call ALGLIB from a C program?

THanks,
bernard

if you requirement is to be purely C, then maybe not. However, you can easily built a wrapper in c++, that takes c-style buffers as input matrices/vectors and converts them to c++ objects required by alglib. This way you would have a c compatible library for alglib.

Hi, Bernard!

Yes, it is possible, although it is not marketed officially.

ALGLIB for C++ is a C++ wrapper around computational core written in plain C. It is possible to obtain source code of the C core and to directly access its functionality. The C interface it is not intended to be used directly, so it is a bit less human-friendly than C++ one. But it is consistent and has direct 1-to-1 correspondence with well documented C++ interface.

If you are interested in more details, you can write me to sergey.bochkanov at alglib.net, and tell me more about your task: specific ALGLIB functions you want to use and details of the software and hardware ALGLIB is expected to be running at.
