Possibly unreachable line in lapack.jl

[ajinkya-k]

Is the following line in lapack.jl even reachable?

LinearAlgebra.jl/src/lapack.jl

Line 4141 in 2a1696a

error("failed to converge eigenvectors:\n$(findall(!iszero, ifail))")

The call to chklapackerror(info[]) on line 4138

LinearAlgebra.jl/src/lapack.jl

Line 4138 in 2a1696a

chklapackerror(info[])

should throw an error if any of the eigenvectors failed to converge and therefore its unlikely the if block would ever be reached.

can someone suggest a test for this? I tried a bunch of matrices from the MatrixDepot.jl packages but none of them threw any errors when running eigen.

The relevant code for context (comments with <-- mine)

# .... # 
# lapack.jl lines 4138 - 4142
            chklapackerror(info[]) 
            if any(ifail .!= 0) # <-- should be unreachable because of the line above
                # TODO: better error message / type
                error("failed to converge eigenvectors:\n$(findall(!iszero, ifail))") # <-- this line here
            end
