Hi, I've ran into a problem on 8-stable/amd64 today. Basically any attempt to pass 2GB chunk of data to write(2) returns EINVAL. It looks like we're limiting amount of data to be written to INT_MAX which looks rather restrictive on LP64 platforms. NetBSD/OpenBSD do use SSIZE_MAX which does seem to be the limit specified by POSIX, if I'm looking at the correct specification here http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/write.html
A bit of googling shows that this issue was also recently mentioned on svn-src-all: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg18266.html Was the INT_MAX limit in FreeBSD imposed intentionally, even on 64-bit platforms or is it a bug that needs fixing? Thanks, --Artem _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
