[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30289] save/load does not restore a variable created with ones()

[Jaroslav Hajek]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30289 (project octave):

An accurate analysis, Olaf. This optimization is vital for certain array
indexing operations (repmat), so we want to keep it.

Generally, we do not ensure backward compatibility of save, i.e. files saved
in newer versions may not be correctly loadable in older versions. (Sometimes
that's not even reasonably possible).

But we surely want backward compatibility of load, i.e. we want to keep
datafiles saved by old versions loadable.

The solution certainly is to somehow store the length for constant ranges,
but it needs to be done in a load-compatible manner.
