Public bug reported:
I have a program that I'm debugging. It generates enormous log files
which I need to peruse. I use vim as the tool of choice ordinarily, but
vim stops loading the text when it reaches line 2147483647. That sounds
familiar.
It gives no hint of what's wrong, so I tried several times. Then I
noticed the line number of the last line it would show.
This makes vim useless for the purpose.
I regard the limit as an implementation limit which I hope you will extend. I
regard the failure to report as a bug which ought to be fixed. I hope you
agree.
Requests:
- On a 64-bit machine it would be nice if that were a 64-bit long long.
- On any machine it would be nice if vim noticed it had failed and reported
that fact.
