I have put the latest patch at:
http://downloads.rhyme.com.au/postgresql/pg_dump/
along with two dump files of the regression DB, one with 4 byte
and the other with 8 byte offsets. I can read/restore each from
the other, so it looks pretty good. Once the endianness is tested,
we should be OK.
Known problems:
- will not cope with > 4GB files and size_t not 64 bit.
- when printing data position, it is assumed that off_t is UINT64
(we could remove this entirely - it's just for display)
- if seek is not supported, then an intXX is assigned to off_t
when file offsets are needed. This *should* not cause a problem
since without seek, the offsets will not be written to the file.
Changes from Prior Version:
- No longer stores or outputs data length
- Assumes result of ftello is correct if it disagrees with internally
kept tally.
- 'pg_restore -l' now shows sizes of int and offset.
