[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61863] interp2 gives wrong results for complex matrices

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #61863 (project octave):

              Item Group:    Matlab Compatibility => Incorrect Result       

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #23:

The behavior of "test <bug-id>" and "xtest <bug-id>" is the same.  The only
real need for xtest is to mark a test as a "known failure" when there is no
associated bug report.  But we should try to avoid that and instead create bug
reports for all known failures and just use "test <bug-id>" instead of
"xtest".  That way, we have some documentation about why a test is known to
fail.

For Octave, there is a script that checks the status of bug reports and adds
the "*" to the tag.  The Makefile target "update-bug-status" will execute that
script for all source files that contain tests that are tagged with bug
numbers.

Also, please try to use the "Matlab Compatibility" item group only when Octave
behavior is arguably reasonable but different from Matlab.  Otherwise, use an
item group that most closely describes the actual problem.  For example, if
the problem is that the feature is missing in Octave, then use "feature
request" or if the bug is about incorrect behavior, use "incorrect result".
