    *  Purpose
    *  =======
    *
    *  SSPR    performs the symmetric rank 1 operation
    *
    *     A := alpha*x*x' + A,
    *
    *  where alpha is a real scalar, x is an n element vector and A is an
    *  n by n symmetric matrix, supplied in packed form.
    *
    *  Arguments
    *  ==========
    *
    *  UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
    *           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower
    *           triangular part of the matrix A is supplied in the packed
    *           array AP as follows:
    *
    *              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   The upper triangular part of A is
    *                                  supplied in AP.
    *
    *              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   The lower triangular part of A is
    *                                  supplied in AP.
    *
    *           Unchanged on exit.
    *
    *  N      - INTEGER.
    *           On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.
    *           N must be at least zero.
    *           Unchanged on exit.
    *
    *  ALPHA  - REAL            .
    *           On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.
    *           Unchanged on exit.
    *
    *  X      - REAL             array of dimension at least
    *           ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).
    *           Before entry, the incremented array X must contain the n
    *           element vector x.
    *           Unchanged on exit.
    *
    *  INCX   - INTEGER.
    *           On entry, INCX specifies the increment for the elements of
    *           X. INCX must not be zero.
    *           Unchanged on exit.
    *
    *  AP     - REAL             array of DIMENSION at least
    *           ( ( n*( n + 1 ) )/2 ).
    *           Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the array AP must
    *           contain the upper triangular part of the symmetric matrix
    *           packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP( 1 )
    *           contains a( 1, 1 ), AP( 2 ) and AP( 3 ) contain a( 1, 2 )
    *           and a( 2, 2 ) respectively, and so on. On exit, the array
    *           AP is overwritten by the upper triangular part of the
    *           updated matrix.
    *           Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the array AP must
    *           contain the lower triangular part of the symmetric matrix
    *           packed sequentially, column by column, so that AP( 1 )
    *           contains a( 1, 1 ), AP( 2 ) and AP( 3 ) contain a( 2, 1 )
    *           and a( 3, 1 ) respectively, and so on. On exit, the array
    *           AP is overwritten by the lower triangular part of the
    *           updated matrix.
