GSL::Blas.zgemm crashes

[daxtens]

Any attempt to run GSL::Blas.zgemm causes a crash:

2.2.6 :001 > require 'gsl'
 => true 
2.2.6 :002 > GSL::Blas.zgemm

This is a NULL pointer dereference in rb_gsl_blas_zgemm in blas3.c:

In line 94, you have:

  gsl_complex *pa = NULL, *pb = NULL;

Then line 97 tries to dereference pa and assign something to a member:

  (*pa).dat[0] = 1.0; (*pa).dat[1] = 0.0;

This causes the null pointer dereference.

I found this with cppcheck.
