Since the intended protections against bad behavior/file corruption break down when file descriptors are inherited between programs built with differing values for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, and since it's now 2012, I think there's a strong argument to be made for making 64-bit off_t the default. I know a small but persistent number of programs on Debian and other mainstream dists are still built without any attention to _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, and this leads to broken corner case issues. Fixing this at the libc level makes a lot more sense than fixing it in every single program... -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
