struct stat64 problem

3 New Member
I have a problem with GCC and C.
(under Windows XP, CPU 32-bit Athlon XP, gcc version 3.4.5, mingw special)

Is there some simple way to return the size of a large file (2GB+) without opening it? GCC seems to not understand "struct stat64" (missing in the header "sys/stat.h")

Coding something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. struct stat64 statbf;
returns a "storage size of 'statbf' isn't known" error.

My lame workaround is to open the large file:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. FILE *f;
  2. uint64_t size;
  3. f = fopen64( name, "rb" );
  4. fseeko64( f, 0L, 2 );
  5. size = ftello64( f );
  6. fclose( f );
but opening just to get the size seems hacky plus it's about 10 times slower than using "struct stat" and statbf.st_size when processing a tree with thousands of files.

Thanks

Hi All, I am pretty new to python and am having a problem intepreting binary data using struct.unpack. I am reading a file containing binary packed data using open with "rb". All the values are coming through fine when using (integer1,) = struct.unpack('l', line) except when line contains "carriage-return" "linefeed" which are valid binary packed values. Error = unpack string size dows not match format. It seems that

Hi all, I feel unclear about what my code is doing, although it works but I am not sure if there is any possible bug, please help me to verify it. This is a trie node (just similar to tree nodes) struct, I am storing an array of 27 pointers and a void pointer that can point to anything. typedef struct trieNode { struct trieNode *children; // The children nodes void *obj; // The object stored } TrieNode;

Hi, I'm trying to solve a programming lab assignment for my college C programming course, but as they taught us two semesters of Java before teaching us any C, I'm having problems with all the aspects of pointers.

I have this problem: 'pno' is a pointer to a struct of type PRINTER_NOTIFY_OPTIONS. This struct is holding another struct called 'not' (of type PRINTER_NOTIFY_OPTIONS_TYPE) which contains a couple of 'normal' fields and a pointer (called pFields) to an array of integers. Now, when I make up everything (probably incorrectly), it compiles ok, but when I execute this code, I get an error saying that pno is a nullreference.

Howdy folks, I've been working on a c project, compiling using gcc, and I've reached a problem. The assignment requires creation of a two-level directory file system. No files have to be added or deleted, however it must be initialized by a function during run-time to contain so many users which each contain so many directories of which each contain so many files. I've completed the program and have it running flawlessly without implementing...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
