Re: [OctDev] new release?

[Quentin S. <qsp...@ie...>]

Here's another bug I found recently:

hammgen's documentation claims it can take input arguments M between 3
and 16, but it actually fails for M>6. This appears to be an
undocumented limitation in cyclgen. Looking at the source code to
cyclgen, the ceiling appears to be fixed at 64 bits because a 64-bit
number is used in the computation. I would love to see someone figure
out how to support larger sizes than 64 (like up to 65535 as hammgen
suggests, for example), but I don't have time to figure this out by
myself. If this isn't fixed before a new release, at least the
documentation of hammgen should be modified until it is.
