Having run into this issue recently, here's a patch (hopefully attached,
mail.app and list filters willing) against PHP 5.3 to address it.
This patch will promote to double the file sizes that overflow LONG_MAX,
which works transparently for my script.
Note that this only touches the obvious functions in the core; there may
be other extensions that need to behave similarly.
The defines that I jam into CFLAGS are known to work in our other
projects on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and OSX. The other (weirder)
platforms might need some other adjustments to work correctly.
I wonder - if we enable this patch, and there's some library that PHP
modules use, which is not compiled with 64-bit files support, will it
work OK (including using PHP file handles, calling file functions,
etc.)? I am worried about something like changing the structure of FILE*
and then both modules using different settings would access it. So do
you know how LF-enabled code interoperates with non-lf-enabled code?
Also I'm not sure MAKE_DOUBLE_ZVAL_INCREF is necessary - as I see, it's
used only in 2 places.
