I just noticed that there is a typo in the mkl reference manual for the FORTRAN Pack functions:

Fortran:
call vsPackI( n, a, inca, y )
call vsPackV( n, a, ia, y )
call vsPackM( n, a, ma, y )
call vdPackI( n, a, inca, y )
call vdPackV( n, a, ia, y )
call vdPackM( n, a, ma, y )  // is this not the C interface ??

I presume these should be:

Fortran:
call vspacki( n, a, inca, y )
call vspackv( n, a, ia, y )
call vspackm( n, a, ma, y )
call vdpacki( n, a, inca, y )
call vdpackv( n, a, ia, y )
call vdpackm( n, a, ma, y )

Makes no difference, unless you have a compiler which can preserve mixed case external identifiers.

I was just pointing it out because there are 2 case-sensitive versions in the vml functions header that have different definitions:

_Vml_Api(void,vsPackI,(MKL_INT n,  const float  a[], const MKL_INT   incra, float  y[]))
_vml_api(void,vspacki,(MKL_INT *n, const float  a[], const MKL_INT * incra, float  y[]))

Was just an observation to correct the manual for the next release.

Also, it should be noted that the header parameter names are also not consistent. i.e. 'inca' in the manual is 'incra' in the header.

Thank you for communication about the misprint in MKL Manual. We will fix the typo in the future releases of the library.
