Hmm.. How is Linux the weak spot? It does provide lseek64 and fseeko under certain conditions, and ftell64 is implementable as lseek64(fd,0,SEEK_CUR).
That's good to hear. I was quoting the Bebee survey - perhaps it was made some time ago. I just checked Apple, and they also supply the functionality. Anyhow, it is hard to see how there could be much opposition to standardizing something where there is so much existing practice. That leaves <iostreams>. There are a few functions specified in terms of fseek. It should be trivial to change those descriptions to specify in terms of fseeko, and adjust argument types accordingly. But there are some other cases I'm foggy about. --Beman
