When using the golay decoder (an error correcting decoder), and there are more than the three allowed erroneous bits, the function crashes instead of setting the error flag.
Golaytestcase.m: %octave % Testcase for crashing egolaydec.m x=[1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 ]; y=egolayenc(x); % create the encoded vector. y(17:2:23)=0; % set four errors in this vector. [res,err]=egolaydec (y) % try to decode this erroneous vector. I contacted the author Annamalai, Muthiah <muthiah.annama...@mavs.uta.edu> and he wrote : “Roman, I will not be able to debug the algorithm. But the error can be fixed by inserting the line, E=[S, zeros(1,12)]; just after the statement done = 0; You may also submit a patch to the Octave project. I won't be able to do this. Thanks, -Muthu“ I have inserted the line and it works now fine. I have tested it also for some other bitvectors containing more than the four errors used in my test case. Can anyone please fix this in the repository. Roman
