[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54405] octave_idx_type index integer overflow math check doesn't work correctly

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #27, bug #54405 (project octave):

Rik wrote: "First, the changeset I pushed is only about checking for an
overflow in a dimension or overall number of elements."

That assumes the size specification will be used in an NR*NC fashion.  If this
size specification comes from, for example,


octave> xinf = fread (id, [8, Inf], "8*single", 2*4);


i.e., the [8,Inf] is treated internally as a size array, will that throw an
error?
