Dear Maintainer,
the size of a single Octave array cannot exceed 2 GB of memory because octave is not
built with "--enable-64" flag
I'm not disputing that a version of Octave built with 64-bit indexing
enabled would be useful, but on a system with 64-bit pointers and 32-bit
indexing, the limit for any array is approximately 2^32 *elements* not
2GB of memory. The actual amount of memory allocated and used can be
larger than than 2GB. This is explained in the Octave manual pages that
you linked to:
www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Compiling-Octave-with-64_002dbit-Indexing.html
Also, there can be multiple arrays of up to this size.
