[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54414] Not recognizing that indices greater than (roughly) 2^63 or 20 digits are too large

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #54414 (project octave):

I don't think you're running from the most recent development tip.  When I try
your code I get


octave:2> fn = "ramp10by11.dat";
octave:3> fid = fopen(fn, "w+");
octave:4> fwrite (fid, ones(10,1)*[1:11], "single");
octave:5> frewind (fid);
octave:6> x = fread (fid, [9223372036854775807, 9223372036854775807],
'single');
error: fread: dimension too large for Octave's index type
error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined
octave:6> x
error: 'x' undefined near line 1 column 1
octave:6> diary off


The fix here is only about the zeros() (and friends) functions.
