I have put a new snapshot in
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/Testing/exim-snapshot.tar.gz
This contains my version of Michael's patch, plus the necessary changes
to handle large directories of maildir files, maildirsize, etc. I found
a better way of converting off_t values for printing, namely
printf("%.30g", (double)off_t_value);
This, I hope, will work in all environments.
What I have not done is the work to allow individual messages to be
larger than 2G. No doubt in a few years' time such monstrosities will be
upon us - but it's not a totally trivial change, and I'm wondering if it
would actually slow things down noticeably to do 64-bit arithmetic
instead of 32-bit arithmetic? Perhaps this should stay on the wish list
for a while.
The snapshot, of course, contains a number of other changes. My test
suite runs clean, but it would be nice if a few other people could run
some tests on this, as I poked in quite a few places.
