Hi Andy, The specific concern is that (e.g.) the BIO seek and tell operations use long for parameters, which on some 64-bit systems is still 32 bits.
They need to use size_t or a specific 64-bit type. Erik ....................................

It should be 64-bit on 64-bit [Unix] platforms. "Should be" refers to the fact that I've looked at it some point and reckoned that it is and as far as 32-bit platforms go best one can do is to ensure that large files can be accessed sequentially (see comment in bss_file.c). "[Unix]" refers to the fact that it would be a problem on Win64, because long is 32 bits wide and it's problematic to pass 64-bit values in file_ctrl, pass by value. In other words what is specific concern?
