[psoc-2008] [report] Day-0 report - Thierry Moisan

[Thierry Moisan]

Hi, I am working on Math::GSL, a perl module which will make usable the gsl
functions in perl.

The last few weeks have been training for the real weeks to come. I've
already started to code with the help of Jonathan Leto (the mentor for this
project). The work to do is large but we should be able to go trough it this
summer. Jonathan has set up a blog for the project :
http://leto.net/code/Math-GSL/
I have my own git repository for the project :
http://thgate.net/git/Math-GSL.git/
We have two branches for the moment : master and bleed. Bleed is mainly for
rough code. The other repository adresse can be found on the blog. I already
worked on some simple subsystems of Math::GSL : PowInt, CDF and Randist. For
the moment I'm working on the Matrix subsystem. Special Functions,Errno,
PowInt, CDF and Randist subsystems have the interfaces mostly complete.

I wanted to learn to work with a more complex code editor such as nano, vim
or emacs for a long time. My mentor was already working with vim so I'll
learn to use it too this summer. Jonathan has showed me the basic to work
with vim and I'm starting to be more productive with it. Before that, I was
using gedit.

Since communicating with the perl and swig community is quite important, I
subscribed to the swig-user mailing list for the moment. I'll also be using
the #perl irc channel. Sadly, swig doesn't seem to have any irc channel at
the moment.

One big issue for the moment is how to use typemaps provided by swig, once
this will be solved, we will be able to work on any subsystem of Math::GSL
we want.
