Re: RC2 test failures

[chechu]

Good morning to everyone.

Thankyou so much Rik for your considerations.

On my +5 years Debian I had few ancient suitesparse libraries that seemed
to, somehow, make appear the other errors, rightnow they are cleaned and
after successfully clean, reconfig/rebuild only the gammainc errors remain.
They where not indeed bugs to report.

As You suspected it is because of tolerances, the actual hugh error is as
follows:

ASSERT errors for:  assert (gammainc (200, 200,
"scaledupper"),17.3984438553791505135122900,-2 * eps)

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     ()        17.3984      17.3984      Rel err 6.1259e-16 exceeds tol
4.4409e-16 by 2e-16 



I don't know if it may matter, but Debian is starting to use gcc 8
toolchains.


Summary:

  PASS                            15514
  FAIL                                3
  XFAIL (reported bug)               23
  SKIP (missing feature)             38        --LLVM
  SKIP (run-time condition)          12




Thankyou all for your efforts.
Kind regards
