------- Comment #3 from jblomqvi at cc dot hut dot fi 2005-10-15 20:43 ------- I think something like LONG_MAX might be appropriate. long should be the same as size_t both on 32 and 64 bit mingw-windows, right (if 64 bit mingw indeed exists at all)?
If LONG_MAX is too risky then at least INT_MAX should work. But yeah, in this particular case any size that is smaller than the maximum value of ssize_t would work. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24383
