[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46859] Error in "for" cycle

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #46859 (project octave):

John: Right, finding the "best" solution is not easy.
Matlab compatibility is a consideration, but does not
dictate the right way to do it.

A part of this that may confuse users is:

++
>>zz =T/dt
zz =  1001.0

>>xx = 1001
xx = 1001

but, of course:
format hex
>> zz = T/dt
zz = 408f47ffffffffff

>> xx
xx = 408f480000000000
--

Maybe enhancing the message:
error: x(1000): subscripts must be either integers 1 to (2^31)-1 or logicals

by displaying the failing subscript in hex or at least somehow
indicating explicitly that it does not have an exact integer
value.
