Unfortunately, if you look here, there is no approximate testing done at all for floating-point values https://github.com/data-apis/array-api-tests/pull/314/files?diff=unified#diff-6056c0b3af9cd3ba66387432a17f5f36bbd54220419656441a8b01bcdc4df44bR57.
We should probably add a flag to that helper to allow approximate testing to be enabled. Some functions are impossible to do approximate testing for because they don't even have a single possible output (e.g.,
eigh
could pick completely different eigenvectors and still be correct).There are helpers used in the elementwise functions that could be reused here for testing floating-point (and complex) closeness. Basically, they test with very large epsilons. Even that would be enough to detect that a library isn't conjugating, which is the real concern for this test specifically.

Wait, what: https://github.com/data-apis/array-api-tests/blob/master/array_api_tests/test_linalg.py#L109 and I was sure this PR switches on equality testing. But
assert_equal
does not do what name the implies:https://github.com/data-apis/array-api-tests/blob/master/array_api_tests/test_linalg.py#L49

Yes, I originally had it there but later had to comment it out when I found out that you fundamentally can't compare floating point stacks for some functions like eigh because sometimes implementations (like CuPy) use different algorithms that give different (but still mathematically correct) results. #101 (comment) I never renamed the functions. While I did turn the floating-point checks off completely, and they don't make sense for some functions like eigh, they do make sense for functions like vecdot and others where the mathematical answer is has a single well-defined value. We just need to be careful about loss of significance, especially for the tensor contraction functions (vecdot, matmul, tensordot, etc.) that involve additions.
