When semihosting 32-bit systems, the return value of FLEN will be stored
in a 32-bit integer. To prevent wraparound, return -1 and set EOVERFLOW.
This matches the behavior of stat(2). Static files don't need to be
checked, since are always small.

The issue with the current implementation is that files with file sizes over 4 GiB will be reported as file size < 4 -GiB on 32bit systems. Thanks for addressing this.

But unfortunately with your change you are additionally dropping support for file sizes 2 GiB to 4 GiB on 32bit devices. This should be avoided.

The semihosting specification specifies that the value returned in r0 should be -1 if an error occurs. So on 32 bit systems 0xffffffff should be returned.

As file sizes cannot be negative there is not reason to assume that the value in r0 has to be interpreted by semihosting clients as signed.

Please, change your commit to check against 0xffffffff.

It might make sense to contact ARM to make their specification clearer.

Best regards

Heinrich
