[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53293] uint64 are truncated

[David Bateman]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #53293 (project octave):

The NEWS file for Octave 4.4 contains the text



 ** hex2num and num2hex now work for integer and char types and num2hex
    may optionally return a cell array of strings instead of a character
    array.  If given a cell array of strings, hex2num now returns a
    numeric array of the same size as the input cell array.  Previously,
    hex2num would accept a cell array of strings of arbitrary dimension
    but would always return a column vector.


So this is already implemented. Till then you can use something like


uint64(0xFFFFFFFF) * 2^32 + uint64(0xFFFFFFFF)


to get large uint64 vales
