[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47775] realpow and sparse-xpow.cc-tst fails

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #47775 (project octave):

Thanks, Mike.

With those settings, the stable branch also gives the errors in realpow and
sparse-xpow.

What is the next step?  Should we write special code for integer exponents?

Is there hope that this is just a glitch in the library that will be fixed in
the next version? Is it documented that integer exponents are supposed to give
exact results in these cases?  What about -1^(1/2)? -1^(1/3)?
