Not to mention: NO ONE has off_t larger than 63 bits (there physically is not that much storage around!), so a signed 64-bit integer should always be sufficient, rather than artificially limiting exact answers to 53 bits of precision via a double. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
