I think this is a duplicate of bug #45945.

Octave's int64 variables are stored as 64-bit integers, not doubles.  The problem is with parsing large integer constants and converting them all to double.

The maximum int64 is

octave:30> int64(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
ans = 9223372036854775807

ok.
but:

octave:35> int64(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFF0)
ans = 9223372036854775807
octave:36> int64(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFF00)
ans = 9223372036854775807
octave:39> int64(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFC00)
ans = 9223372036854774784
octave:40> int64(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFE00)

The latter numbers should all be even, right?
I suspect, Octave's int64 are double with only 53 digit mantissa.
