=46rom usr.bin/cmp/c_regular.c:
#define MMAP_CHUNK (8*1024*1024)
=2E..
for (..) {
mmap() chunk of size MMAP_CHUNK.
compare
munmap()k
}
That 8 MB chunk size sounds like a bad plan to me. I can imagine
something needed to be done to compare files larger than X GB on a 32bit
system, but 8MB is pretty small...
