DetailsCode inspection shows that we’re still using fseek() and ftell() in various places (including text file input), which can’t handle file positions of 2GB and beyond (except on 64-bit linux machines); those calls need to be examined and (where appropriate) replaced with the fseek64() macro we’re already defining (but currently not using), and a to-be-defined ftell64() macro. One potential (untested) error scenario would be a scene file calling a macro that is defined at the end of a > 2GB long include file. |
Now tracked on github as issue #163.
