[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58378] bin2dec hangs

[Hanada Yuichi]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #58378 (project octave):

Hello,

To those who have encountered bugs: can you run the script below when bugs
happened? 

ones(299,49) * (2.^(48:-1:0)')
% these also hung. The last one violates the length of available base-2
expression; I prepared just for bug identification.
ones(298,31) * (2.^(30:-1:0)')
ones(299,39) * (2.^(38:-1:0)')
ones(100,93) * (2.^(92:-1:0)')

In my case it hung as the reported script. I'm using Otave 5.2.0 on Ubuntu
20.04 on WSL.
It seems this is not a bin2dec bug but rather a general one.

This is a simplification of the last line in base2dec.m (which bin2dec.m
internally calls).
