This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
|
|
MSVC 9.
|
|
@item
|
|
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstat} may not correctly
|
|
report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB.
|
|
(Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)

@item
|
|
The @code{st_atime}, @code{st_ctime}, @code{st_mtime} fields are affected by
|
|
the current time zone and by the DST flag of the current time zone on some
|
|
platforms:
|
|
mingw, MSVC 14 (when the environment variable @code{TZ} is set).

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

@xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}.

|
On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns
|
|
different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output
|
|
are not redirected and refer to the same terminal.
