Thanks asshole

That would have been entertaining if you'd bothered to kill the whole board, but you just squelched all the active programming discussions and left a bunch of stupid offtopic bullshit threads open.

I hate autistic retards.

So I have a basic C program which uses unsigned int foe everything. It's very portable, but now I'd like to add large file support (>4GB). I'm concerned with the standard library calls mostly.

Now technically I should use ssize_t but that doesn't improve anything (it's still 32 bit on 32 bit architectures) and I'm not even sure if that's standard or some GNU crap.

So is it possible to add large file support without resorting to hideous compile/link time options (this is just a .c file, and ideally it'd stay that way) in a really portable way?

I was thinking about workarounding this with some trickery (for example seeking around in 2GB increments - I think this would work even when not explicitly using LFS).
