#51133 [Opn->Bgs]: Allow float as parameter for ftruncate

ID: 51133 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported By: sylvain at abstraction dot fr -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.12 New Comment: This is effectively a bug requesting large file support on 32-bit platforms, which makes it a duplicate of the previously closed bug #38758, bug #40726, bug #43865, and probably others besides. The open bug that deals with this is bug #27792, which includes a patch to implement LFS. Simply changing the function to take a float wouldn't solve the problem, since the underlying file I/O APIs all use 32-bit integers as well. This requires work both at the ext/standard and stream level. It's also worth noting that this already works just fine on 64-bit platforms.

Could it be made float instead ? Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=51133&edit=1
