For clarification, I am not referring to a function, I am referring to the struct stat64
which is needed as an argument to _fstat64_r or _stat64 for that matter. There is no struct
stat64 or struct _stat64 defined externally under Cygwin. The compiler fails because
it does not know the size of the structure. Under linux, the type is defined and this is not a
problem.
Cygwin has a struct __stat64. We could also define a struct stat64 but this would be contrary to the effort to handle the new structures transparent. struct __stat64 is struct stat from the applications point of view.
Where in particular? I have tried this as well. Having it defined as empty is of no help. The compiler needs to know its size and access one of the fields.
With struct __stat64 st;
