I've been going through the PR database, thinking maybe it was my turn
to do something for FreeBSD. I looked at pr bin/2036. Problem? long
isn't big enough to count all the bytes we could hold. So I look in the
code and find
/* Total number of bytes read and written for all files.
Now that many tape drives hold more than 4Gb we need more than 32
bits to hold input_bytes and output_bytes. But it's not worth
the trouble of adding special multi-precision arithmetic if the
compiler doesn't support 64 bit ints since input_bytes and
output_bytes are only used to print the number of blocks copied. */
#ifdef __GNUC__
long long input_bytes, output_bytes;
#else
long input_bytes, output_bytes;
#endif
in global.c
So I thought, "we don't define __GNUC__?" I figured I'd check. After
much mind wracking, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get gcc
to output a list of what is and isnt defined by default... help!
