Hi, i've got some question about this changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/rev/ef65ddb32456 There was a check added that the maximum chunk size does not exceed 2 GiB. Can you tell me the intention of this check? Before this change it was possible to handle e.g. RIFF Wav-Files which are greater than 2 GiB, after that change it will result in an exception. So how to handle files which are greater than 2 GiB now? Downgrading to JDK 7 or to a version before this change is not a "nice" solution ;-). Reading about the RIFF-Format the ChunkSize is a uint32_t - 8 Bytes, so it should be possible to have a 4 GiB file, shouldn't it? thanks for some enlightenment about this changeset. thanks and kind regards Torsten
