Details:
- Previously, when calling the BLAS compatibility layer, discovering a
parameter check failure would result in the proper setting of the
info parameter (printed by xerbla_()), but would also come with an
immediate abort() rather than a return. This was incorrect behavior
for two overlapping reasons.
(1) BLAS should return gracefully to the caller in the event of a
bad set of parameters, not abort().
(2) When BLIS was being tested via the BLAS testsuite, BLIS's
xerbla_() would correctly get preempted/overridden by the
xerbla_() in the BLAS testsuite, but execution would then
erroneously continue on to the BLIS implementation with bad
parameter values.
- The previous issue was addressed by disabling the abort() in BLIS's
xerbla_(), changing all of the BLAS _check() functions to cpp macros,
and adding a return statement to the end of each _check() macro's
"if ( info != 0 )" conditional.
Thanks to Dave Love for reporting this issue.
