Missing bounds checks for views and BE/LE

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 1 comments

The various Cstruct.LE/BE functions to do not check the validity of len of a local view, and only raise a bounds exception if the underlying Bigarray bounds are violated. We need to check the view length as well.

This may break existing code that worked accidentally due to not respecting the view length of Cstruct.sub results, so needs to be tested against existing users.
