[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53899] [octave forge] (io) Octave crashes when writing large dbf files with dbfwrite

[Matthew Parkan]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #53899 (project octave):

Hi Philip,

sorry for the very late reply, but I had to write my phd in the meantime...

After some more testing of _dbfwrite_, I think I've determined the problem. It
seems that the crash is caused by the call to _datevec(date)_ rather than by
write speed. I've replaced it by:


t = now;
upd = datevec(t) - [1900, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];


While trying to find the bug, I also made a few changes to the code which
might improve performance when writing large files (vectorizing data writing)

I've attached the updated version of _dbfwrite_ and the corresponding patch to
this comment. 

(file #45033, file #45034)
