AFAIK, no 32-bit OS supports files larger than 4Gb anyway.
Um. No. There's a reason that things like the macro
_LARGE_FILE_API exist.
While some file systems won't allow larger file sizes, that's
generally an FS
limitation, not an OS limitation. The OSes provide ways to
operate on 64-bit
files on 32-bit systems. If they didn't, it would be impossible
to do something
like read a Blu-ray on a 32-bit system.
