[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47690] Octave 64-bit for Windows can't parse long hex integers

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #47690 (project octave):

Thank you, Mike, for your feedback.

I agree with you that the changed handling of large decimal integer input is
wrong. Since all input is cast to double anyway (in Octave and in Matlab), I
should have stripped off that part of the patch from the beginning.

The fact that integer input seems to not loose precission in Matlab when used
for some functions is the other bug #45945. The uintmax_t overflow has to be
handled there.

I did not find the patch with your changes so I'll attach a new one that does
not touch the parsing of decimal numbers and that uses uintmax_t for the
binary cast.

I will file a new bug for the related issue with the scanf family as you
suggested.

(file #36970)
