Bug in Apple's vecLib (OS X < 10.10)
/* proof-of-concept incorrect */

Out of curiosity, what led you to this gist?

Hi, it was through Google. I was looking into some problems at NAG building our numerical libraries against vecLib. I think the search might have been 'Apple vecLib sdot' - I'd forgotten that the g77 convention did this to float-valued functions...

I've checked my notes from that time, and I was trying to debug a similar issue (with NumPy indirectly calling into vecLib).
