[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51779] bsxfun unit tests occasionally fail on certain random inputs

[Arun Giridhar]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #51779 (project octave):

Checking in three years later before 7.1 is released. The status is exactly as
before:


>> bsxfun (@power, y, x) == power (y, x)
ans =

  0  1
  1  1

>> bsxfun (@power, double(y), double(x)) == power (double(y), double(x))
ans =

  1  1
  1  1

>> bsxfun (@power, double(y), x) == power (double(y), x)
ans =

  1  1
  1  1

>> bsxfun (@power, y, double(x)) == power (y, double(x))
ans =

  1  1
  1  1



Promoting x or y or both to double eliminates the error, and Matlab errors on
nearly all mixed-type combinations, so it's not a compatibility issue.

Does this cause any test suite errors at present? If not, is this OK to close
since there is a ready workaround?
