[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44201] "whos" and gui display non-integer sizes inf/nan poorly

[Colin Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44201 (project octave):

1.  Re: Inf and NaN: I agree but I don't know enough C++ to know how to do
this (mixing sprintf(%g) and << perhaps).  I suggest we worry about whether
this would in principle go in (esp. viz #43096 changes), then worry about
fine-tuning this patch.

2.  Re:

> In the first example, sizes shouldn't be negative, so those
> should be displayed as unsigned numbers, not signed.

I don't think that is my point.  The code is converting double to int
(apparently signed int).  But my size.m is returning "inf" and "nan" which are
valid doubles, but apparently they convert to -BIGINT or something like that.

In case I wasn't clear: the "first example" is what currently happens.  The
second output is what it should be, after my patch.
