Re: any update on large file support for linux?
The SVN version of std.stdio supports large files on Linux and OSX. The next release will be a nice one, I think. :) -Lars

What really surprised me is that dmd compiles f.seek(1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6, SEEK_SET); but fails with std.exception.errnoexcept...@std/stdio.d(538): Could not seek in file `test.txt' (Invalid argument) whereas f.seek(1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6L, SEEK_SET); works fine. I did not realize that 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6 turns negative and then gets converted to a negative long (without even a warning). Overseeing that had killed my own efforts to hack 64-bit support into phobos ;-) Thanks again, (another ;-)) Lars

I suggest you file this as an improvement in bugzilla. Glad to hear large files are working for you. Andrei

Andrei I filed an enhancement request http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4835 as Andrei had recommended. Lars
