To my surprise, the implementation of the STL shipped with VC9 does not support files larger than 4GB. I was pretty surprised and couldn't find anything on the web to the contrary. So I was wondering if boost has any hidden libraries that might assist in solving my problem.

Thanks.

According to std::numeric_limitsstd::streamsize::max(), on VC9 (true also on Codegear 6.10, MinGW 4.3.2) 2GB is the largest file size supported. I have read that STLPort has support for large files but I haven't tested it. Cheers, Cristian.
