[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46533] numel() returns negative values for large diagonal matrices

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #46533 (project octave):

@Nicholas: I also had the same idea.  The issue is that internally the numel()
function has been defined to return octave_idx_t which is either 2^31 or 2^63
depending on whether you have 64-bit indexing compiled in.  Changing it will
involve touching a lot of files and before doing that it would be good to get
sign off from jwe and others on the Octave Maintainer's list.  It does seem
like the easiest solution though.
