Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
|
|
upon failure.
|
|
@item
|
|
On platforms where @code{long} is a 32-bit type, @code{fseek} does not work
|
|
correctly with files larger than 2 GB. The fix is to use @code{fseeko}
|
|
instead and to invoke the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.
