[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49927] wavread/audioread refuses to continue reading wav-file

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49927 (project octave):

This bug is reported against version 4.0.0 which is deprecated.  Could the
original reporter try again with the recent stable release of Octave (4.2.0)? 
A lot has improved since 4.0.0, and you can try the 32-bit or 64-bit version
of Octave-4.2.0 as Philip suggests.

If neither the 32-bit or 64-bit version solve the problem then there might be
an issue worth debugging here.  The size of the data read is not all that
large:


size = 4000*4096*4 = 65 MiB


If there are clues in the file about the eventual size of the output then
Octave could do one single allocation at the start of the read, rather than
re-sizing an array each time through the loop.  This would help prevent memory
fragmentation in the heap.
