[openZIM dev-l] New fstream class

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Subject was "Re: [openZIM dev-l] Suggested Budget for 2010" Your new implementation which should help to avoid the 2GB limit under windows works well on GNU/Linux. Unfortunately, on Windows with MSVC this is not the case. Few things to modify to achieve to compile: * remove the #include <unistd.h> which is a POSIX specific header... and seems not to be necessary under GNU/Linux. * include io.h in fstream.[h|cpp] After that it will achieve to compile... But unfortunately it does not run *at all*. I always get reading errors. The errors are not always at the same place, depends on file I try to open. For example with the following file, the process dies pretty early by reading the header: http://tmp.kiwix.org/zim/0.9/wikipedia_en_wp1_0.7_30000+_05_2009_beta3.zim After reading the 72 first bytes from the header, the stream has the fail flag... In fact, if I only read 16 bytes it's OK (until the next read error), but more than 17 and I will get an error. The byte at the 16th position has the value 26 which is maybe interpreted as a end of file character. But with an other file... the error may occurs later. So, it seems to me that the problem depends on the content and is independent of the file size. Maybe the file is read in text mode and not in binary mode... but I have no evidence of that. Someone has an idea? Emmanuel Tommi Mäkitalo a écrit :
