[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60409] [octave forge] (communications) huffmandeco throws out of memory or dimension too large for Octave's index type error

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #60409 (project octave):

The line of the problem is


tree = zeros (1, 2^(m+1)-1)-1;


The link shows the user was able to have a result for

tree = zeros (1, 2^(82+1)-1)-1.


For me the error was still present.

Trying to find which number worked for me.
octave crashed on

tree = zeros (1, 2^(29+1)-1)-1.


This is a zeros function or hardware limitation issue which was discovered by
the huffmandeco.

For this function or the zeros function there needs to be checks added to
prevent this crash.
 
And a warning added so the user understands the limits.
