Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: octave
octave:1> version
ans = 3.0.0
octave:2> repmat(NaN,3)*repmat(0,3)
ans =
0 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0
octave:3> repmat(0,3)*repmat(NaN,3)
ans =
NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN NaN
This means the result of (A*B)' is not the same than B'*A'. This is
counterintuitive and should be fixed.
octave:4> octave_config_info('BLAS_LIBS')
ans = -llapackgf-3 -lblas-3gf
