[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33456] Function handles save()ed with "-binary" can't always be re-load()ed

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #33456 (project octave):

The reason is that the "load_binary()" function of function-handles uses
std::istream::get(). I din't find it documented, but according to a test
"stream.get (char *c, int n)" or "stream.get (char *c, int n, char b)", though
loading n - 1 bytes into c as expected, cause stream.eof() to be true if the
last read byte was the last byte of the file (i.e. _without_ any trying to
read over the file end --- weird). Luckily function-handles seem to be the
only octave_values which use std::istream::get() in load_binary().

A changeset is attached which should fix this.
