** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374898 Title: Vim has 32-bitlimits; annoying on really large files and 64-bit machine Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Debian: New Bug description: I have a program that I'm debugging. It generates enormous log files which I need to peruse. I use vim as the tool of choice ordinarily, but vim stops loading the text when it reaches line 2147483647. That sounds familiar. It gives no hint of what's wrong, so I tried several times. Then I noticed the line number of the last line it would show. This makes vim useless for the purpose. I regard the limit as an implementation limit which I hope you will extend. I regard the failure to report as a bug which ought to be fixed. I hope you agree. Requests: - On a 64-bit machine it would be nice if that were a 64-bit long long. - On any machine it would be nice if vim noticed it had failed and reported that fact.
