[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49470] [MXE] eig.cc-tst failure in __run_test_suite__.m with 64-bit-Octave

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #49470 (project octave):

These tests are a new addition in this cset:


changeset:   22305:510886d03ef2
user:        Barbara Locsi <address@hidden>
date:        Tue Aug 16 02:07:58 2016 +0100
summary:     eig: new options for choice of algorithm, balancing, and output
(patch #8960)


I've added Barbara to the CC list for this bug.  Maybe she knows why the tests
were written in this manner. 

It seems odd to me that is_qz_accurate and is_chol_accurate are always either
true or false.  Won't this depend on the actual HW/SW system?  There is no
prior test that would make these values dependent on the actual platform
Octave is being used on.

One way around this, as Avinoam suggests, is to compare with a tolerance in
assert, rather than using isequal which requires absolute equality.
