According to “:help getfsize()”
If the size of {fname} is too big to fit in a Number then -2
is returned.
and “:help Number” suggests that VimL numbers could be 64-bit
Number A 32 or 64 bit signed number. |expr-number| *Number*
but in reality they aren't
#if VIM_SIZEOF_INT <= 3 /* use long if int is smaller than 32
bits */
typedef long varnumber_T;
#else
typedef int varnumber_T;
#endif
Always using long for varnumber_T fixes the problem on 64-bit systems
and doesn't break any tests. However, that won't help on 32-bit
systems and I doubt Bram will accept always using 64-bit.
There's a similar issue with the maximum number of lines that Vim can
handle in a file (c.f., https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374898) but the
naïve fix doesn't work very well.
