[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57584] spurious test "FAIL"s when running test suite in Octave with "--traditional" startup parameter

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #57584 (project octave):

I see the same, 125 test failures in my case.

I looked briefly at the log, and I think many of these test failures are due
to behavior differences with the three options

* disable_diagonal_matrix
* disable_permutation_matrix
* disable_range

These three are all set to true in --traditional mode, meaning diagonal,
permutation, and range types are all disabled and become full matrices
instead.

If you want to investigate this further, you might take a look at setting each
of these options individually, run the test suite, see specifically why
certain tests are failing, and then figure out if you think anything is worth
fixing.

Here's one small example. When I run Octave normally and test the file lu.cc,
I get 23 passed tests. When I set the option disable_diagonal_matrix, I get 1
test failure. When I set the option disable_permutation_matrix, I get 6 test
failures.
