Hello DFDL community, I think Daffodil should handle input files up to 2^64 in size.
2^64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (20 digits) Why that number? Here's why: The number 2^64 is: The number of distinct values representable in a single word on a 64-bit processor. Or, the number of values representable in a doubleword on a 32-bit processor. Or, the number of values representable in a quadword on a 16-bit processor, such as the original x86 processors. The range of a long variable in the Java and C# programming languages. The range of a Int64 or QWord variable in the Pascal programming language. The total number of IPv6 addresses generally given to a single LAN or subnet. Thoughts? https://www.quora.com/How-big-is-2-power-64 /Roger
