make runtest fail

[Ali Raza]

OS:: Ubuntu16.04
CPU_ONLY

I have make changes in the line 56 of "contrastive_loss_layer.cpp" file to fix an error while make all
Dtype dist = std::max(margin - (float)sqrt(dist_sq_.cpu_data()[i]), Dtype(0.0));
here “(float)” is added

So when I executed make runtest my terminal display this result

Somebody plz help me

[Ali Raza]

@alexgkendall plz help me to solve this problem

[Vinicius Cleves]

I solved this by changing the line 168 in test_gradient_check_util.hpp to
(float)(std::max(fabs(computed_gradient), fabs(estimated_gradient))), (float)1.);

[Villjoie]

I solved this by changing the
Dtype scale = std::max(
std::max(fabs(computed_gradient), fabs(estimated_gradient)), 1.);

to
Dtype scale = std::max(
std::max(fabs(computed_gradient), fabs(estimated_gradient)),
Dtype(1.));
