The c99 interpretation of long long in 32-bit compiles is 64 bits, while size_t and related offsets is 32-bits. I don't think it is possible to fix this, because the interpretation is correct. What is the principle of the fix required? Thanks, Randall -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
