Using ofstream with xml_oarchive to write a file larger than 2GB
Hello, I am trying to serialize data using boost::archive::xml_oarchive. When the resulting file is larger than 2GB, I get an error saying "File size limit exceeded". I am using gcc version 3.2.2. I was wondering if there is a way to use ofstream with boost::archive::xml_oarchive to write files larger than 2GB using gcc version 3.2.2. Thank you, Thomas D'Silva

impressing! may i ask? what are you doing that generates such huge amounts of data? simulations?
Do you know for a fact that your ostream implemenation can handle such a large file? xml_oarchive depends upon ostream for all its output. You'll need to investigate this more deeply to get an answer. Robert Ramey Thomas D'Silva wrote:

The ifstream and ofstream implementation for gcc version 3.2.2 cannot handle files larger than 2GB, but it seems it is possible to bind a stream to a FILE* which enables reading and writing to files larger than 2GB. http://infohost.nmt.edu/~khan/alta/lfs.html Thanks Thomas
