I started a few minimal bits of 64-bit file support: in stat, lstat, readdir, truncate-file and copy-file.
I don't have 4G of disk to test the copy-file, but it starts running ok. (It's not blindingly fast, maybe a bigger buffer would help. It'd be nice if it was interruptable too, maybe SCM_TICK and some dynwind protection on the fds, or something ...) The next step will be the various operations on file descriptors. I think making them all 64-bits is a good thing. The only visible change will be that fds opened by guile are in largefile mode, so the errors are slightly different if some application C code is not 64-bit (return EOVERFLOW instead of the program killed by SIGXFSZ, or something like that). fports will come next. I'm still thinking of adding seek64 and truncate64 funcs to scm_ptob_descriptor, probably visible only when _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is defined, so an application can set those if/when it wants. Something internal-only and specific to fports could be done though. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
