8.2.3 Example programs for blocks

The following program shows how to allocate a block,

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <gsl/gsl_block.h>
     
     int
     main (void)
     {
       gsl_block * b = gsl_block_alloc (100);
       
       printf ("length of block = %u\n", b->size);
       printf ("block data address = %#x\n", b->data);
     
       gsl_block_free (b);
       return 0;
     }

Here is the output from the program,

     length of block = 100
     block data address = 0x804b0d8
