After upgrading libopenblas from 0.3.12-2 to 0.3.14-1,
octave 5.2.0 crashes on plot command in 64 bit environment.
In 32 bit cygwin (WoW64), this does not happen. Reverting
libopenblas to 0.3.12-1 resolve the issue.
octave:1> plot([])
fatal: caught signal Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...
Illegal instruction(core dumped)
My environment:
OS: Windows 10 20H2 (64 bit)
CPU: Inte Core i7 870 (Lynnfield)
[yano@Express5800-S70 ~]$ cygcheck -c cygwin octave libopenblas
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
cygwin 3.2.0-1 OK
libopenblas 0.3.14-1 OK
octave 5.2.0-1 OK
By starting octave-cli in gdb, it stops at vmovaps instruction
in gemm_(). IIUC, vmovaps is an AVX instruction which is not
supported by Core i7 870.
In another PC with Core i7-4790 which supports AVX, the issue
does not occur.
