> v4: Identical to v1, with now included in rte_eal_paging.h > to (hopefully) make off_t available for Windows builds. With this version, using off_t is no longer a problem, however based on the new compilation error it appears that for Windows, off_t is a 32-bit type while size_t is a 64-bit type: ../lib/eal/windows/eal_memory.c:519:37: error: shift count >= width of type [-Werror,-Wshift-count-overflow] DWORD offset_high = (DWORD)(offset >> 32); ^ ~~ So the options seem to be to either use uint64_t for the offset parameter as in patch v3, or else introduce something like: typedef uint64_t rte_off_t; Thoughts/opinions?
