Hi Joseph,
First thank you for reporting the bug, and thank you even more for taking the
time to write a test case.
Your bug has been referenced as bug0096 and is listed in LAPACK 3.4.1 Errata
file : http://www.netlib.org/lapack/Errata/index2.html
You are completely right, the sorting is not done for N=2.
I followed your suggestion and corrected accordingly.
The bug fix is available in the LAPACK repository (revision 1307).
Sincerely,
Julie Langou

Hi,
There appears to be an inconsistency and possible bug in the dstemr
implementation. When calculating the eigenvalues of a matrix, the returned
eigenvalues are supposed to be returned in ascending order. Although this
appears to be the case for N >= 3, it does not appear to be the case for N=2.
I believe this happens because the dstemr routine has special cases for
N=0,1, and 2, which immediately return after their computation. Because
these cases return immediately, they do not call the sorting routines around
line 723 (in LAPACK version 3.4.1). As such, a simple fix would be to have
the N=2 case call this sorting code rather than returning. In any case, I'm
attaching two different C files that demonstrate this problem. The first is
test01.c, which calls the routine on a 2x2 matrix. It correctly calculates
the eigenvalues, but they are printed in the wrong order. The second is
test02.c, which calls the routine on a 3x3 matrix. It also correctly
calculates the eigenvalues and correctly returns the eigenvalues in ascending
order. For reference, these C files use C99, so you may need the compiler
flag -std=c99 if you compile with gcc. They demonstrate the problem when
linking both LAPACK versions 3.4.1 and 3.2.1.
If you've any questions or if there's a better place to file a bug report,
please let me know. Thanks.
Joe
