I tried without ReOpenFile and it seems to work like a charm, or am I missing something? ----8<---- ssize_t mingw_pread(int fd, void *buf, size_t count, off64_t offset) { DWORD bytes_read; OVERLAPPED overlapped; memset(&overlapped, 0, sizeof(overlapped)); overlapped.Offset = (DWORD) offset; overlapped.OffsetHigh = (DWORD) (offset >> 32); if (!ReadFile((HANDLE) _get_osfhandle(fd), buf, count, &bytes_read, &overlapped)) { errno = err_win_to_posix(GetLastError()); return -1; } return (ssize_t) bytes_read; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
