Comment #3 on issue 302 by fac2...@gmail.com: Skip(count) fails when count
offset >2^32 count type should be off_t, not int
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=302
The issue is not about large messages, but about large files. We use
collections of small messages stored in large files (see
http://campagnelab.org/software/goby/tutorials/developing-with-goby/).
Please reconsider the issue considering that:
1. the current C++ API is in effect incompatible with the Java API, that
has always supported skipping 64 bits offsets in large files.
2. the issue is not about supporting large messages.
3. we have provided a patch that solves the problem (see post of June 6
2011). As can be shown in the patch, the issue is limited to changing a few
signatures to prevent the compiler from rounding a 64 bit integer to a
32bit one.
Thanks.
