> That's not the problem., just avoid using -gnatc on the runtime.

Eric,

In PR64866 comment 2, Arno said "Visibility in the Ada runtime do not follow
standard Ada rules. In other words, the Ada runtime isn't implemented in Ada,
but in a different dialect very close to Ada, with additional restrictions.”

He notes two of the additional restrictions: is there a writeup anywhere of the
language restrictions and usage restrictions like this one?

Thanks,

            Bug ID: 66378
           Summary: libgo syscall.Sendfile() does not honor/use offset
                    argument

Created attachment 35676
  --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id5676&actioníit
Patch that make syscall.Sendfile() use offset.

The implementation in libgo/go/syscall/libcall_linux.go does not use the
"offset" argument. Instead it uses soff and poff which is never initialized
with the offset provided by the user (so always zero). This means that sendfile
will not be correct for any offset != 0.

Attached is a patch that fixes this issue, I verified the fix against our
failing snappy testsuite that has a test for sendfile with alternative offsets.
