[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37469] crash when making a large cell array

[Rik]

Update of bug #37469 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: crash when making a large struct array => crash when
making a large cell array

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed on hg id 2fa06d83263a.  I changed the summary to reflect that this
happens with a cell array, not a struct array.  I've also uploaded a script to
demonstrate the problem (mk_lg_cell.m).

Note that the problem is with nesting, not with ordinary cell arrays that
contain a large number of elements.  I reduced the loop to just for i = 1:5 to
get an idea of what the variable 'a' would look like.  See the output below.


a = 
{
  [1,1] =  1
  [1,2] = 
  {
    [1,1] =  1
    [1,2] = 
    {
      [1,1] =  1
      [1,2] = 
      {
        [1,1] =  1
        [1,2] = 
        {
          [1,1] =  1
          [1,2] = {}(0x0)
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
