[Scilab-users] scilab 6.00 beta2 crash (feedback)

[Paul Bignier]

Hi Paul,

The line "k= [1:n]'.*.ones(n,1);" intends to produce a 50001x50001 
(total 2.5 billion) matrix, which goes over the int32 limit of 
2147483647 (2.147 billion), that provokes the inner sizes to wrap and 
become negative, leading to the crash.

If you try k= [1:n/2]'.*.ones(n/2,1); it will work but eat up your ram. 
If you try it a few times a message will say "Can not allocate 'XXX' MB 
memory." because it can still deal with such sizes.

So are you sure about what you want to do?

In the future when you get crashes, please report them on the bugzilla 
<http://bugzilla.scilab.org/>.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Paul
