Large Files Support for C++ Applications

libc has been modified to support large files for C++ applications. C++ applications can now access files greater than 2 GB. This is done by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 in 32-bit mode. More details can be found in the external reference specification white paper for large files, /usr/share/doc/lg_files.txt.

HP CxDL Development Tool Support

libc support for HP CxDL Development tool has been included in the setjmp/longjmp() family of APIs in both 64-bit and 32-bit libc.

libnss_files

A patch for the NIS files backend library (libnss_files.1) has been created to increase performance of gethostent() and related APIs in a kernel threads environment.

libdbm

A new patch for the dbm libraries (libdbm.1 and libndbm.2) has been created to increase performance of dbm_nextkey().

Header Files

Header files ftw.h and stdio.h were patched to enable C++ large files support.

In addition, numerous defects were fixed.
