Gnu Getline Appears To Choke With Large File Support (can't Read &

Hi all,

I have compiled my program to enable large file support. That is, I pass -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to gcc.

I can open files larger than 2GB file (whereas I could not if these options were not enabled).

I have been reading in data from the text files using the GNU getline command. Getline also reads in data fine from before the 2GB mark, but immediately after it cannot read any data in.

Does anyone know why this is, and how I can fix it? Is GNU getline compatible with LFS, or do I have to write my own equivalent routine?

Cheers

If you were linking with a system library, then that library may have been compiled without large file support.
