[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40436] median no longer passes make check

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #40436 (project octave):

Yes I think it is a good idea to release 3.8 with this known error.

There is no bug to be fixed in Octave.

We are fairly certain it is a bug in gcc 4.8.2, since only you and I are
seeing it with that version, and not with 4.8.1 or any earlier version.
Someone could build the current gcc 4.8 branch from svn to see if the error
goes away.

How would you change the algorithm? Surely not by doing a complete sort of an
array when only a partial sort is required, just to fix this for one buggy
version of gcc?
