[PATCH 21.5] Large file support

Don't get too excited. This isn't *that* large file support. A recent discussion on the Fedora devel list pointed out that btrfs is now using 64 bit inode numbers even on 32-bit systems, and so some stat() calls are failing spuriously (with EOVERFLOW) just because the inode number cannot be stored in the 32-bit stat structure, even if the caller is not interested in the inode number. The attached patch is intended to avoid this problem by building with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64 when possible, and by recognizing that certain integer values may overflow a Lisp fixnum. There is only so much that can be done about the latter problem on a system without bignums, and this patch doesn't fix all of those problems. However, on 32-bit systems with bignums, this patch improves the situation. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
