I have an application that wants to use mmap() to read a file, but only if it can guarantee that this will leave one or more zero bytes after the end of the contents of the file in memory:
if ((filesize & (pagesize - 1) != 0) use_mmap(); else use_read(); How do I get the appropriate page size on cygwin? If I call getpagesize() it returns 64k, the "allocation granularity". Internally cygwin has a getsystempagesize() (introduced here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q4/msg00099.html) that returns the appropriate page size, 4k, but that doesn't seem to be exposed to applications. I know that this has been discussed before, e.g. here: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00747.html but I haven't found an answer to this particular question.
