------- Comment #8 from dje at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-12-21 00:29 ------- The issue is whether to default G++ to _LARGE_FILES, as is done for Fortran, and perform all libstdc++ I/O as 64-bit operations, which will affect performance. Not everyone may want or need large I/O. There is no way to give users control over this without imposing it so G++, G++ headers, and libstdc++ all are self-consistent. The other alternative is another multilib, but there alredy are too many variants.
