Hello!
On IRC just a while ago it struck us that when using the
libssh2_scp_recv() function, it is necessary that the app is built
with the same large-file support enabled/disabled as the libssh2
itself was - as various systems provide different 'struct stat'
layouts depending on that.
In this case, the app didn't have it and the lib had it and that
caused the lib to overwrite memory... :-(
I guess this is a proof that libssh2_scp_recv() has an API not good
enough.
Wouldn't it be possible to make a function for runtime, compile time
would be even be better, that would allow programs linking with
libssh2, ie cURL, to see the size of the 'struct stat' as a way of
seeing if it was build with large files. Or possible set a flag in
the installed .h files stating if it was compiled with or without
large files?
