Windows gurus, any thoughts? Windows certainly supports large files. I don't see why we wouldn't pick this up in autoconf, perhaps the mingw libraries don't? Definitly worth investigating, no time for 8.1, so putting it on TODO seems very good :-) //Magnus

So we would need to roll our own to some extent - I think we need more than just a bit of configure cleverness. However, there is a Windows library routine to do a 64bit seek and return the file position, so we could fairly easily implement fseeko and ftello based on that.

Added to TODO:
o Add long file support for binary pg_dump output
While Win32 supports 64-bit files, the MinGW API does not, meaning we have to build an fseeko
replacementon top of the Win32 API, and we have to make sure MinGW handles it.

Wouldn't it be better to lobby the MinGW folk to fix their problem?
Or even help them with it? I can't see the rationale for implementing
a workaround that helps only us.

Another option is to waitfor the MinGW project to fix it, or use the code from the LibGW32C project as a guide. My bet is that the license for LibGW32C might require us to use it as a guide rather than the code itself. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073

But basically it just uses fsetpos() just like ours does. So maybe a little adjustment to our config so we can use ours in a 64 bit manner would be the way to go. cheers andrew
