Can you guarantee that SIZE_MAX >= INT64_MAX on all platforms supported
by QEMU?
Actually, this function is abstracted from the common function, raw_getlength(),
in raw-posix.c whose return value is int64_t.
And i think int64_t is large enough for block devices.
int64_t should be enough, but I don't know if size_t is large enough on
all platforms.
I believe it's going to be either one of those cases:
* If you are absolutely sure SIZE_MAX >= INT64_MAX on all platforms,
please explain why (and maybe add a QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON?). (I don't
think this will be the case)
* If SIZE_MAX < INT64_MAX is possible but you believe
size <= SIZE_MAX is always true here, please explain why (and maybe
add an assert()).
* Otherwise, we need to set an appropriate error if size > SIZE_MAX
or change the type of qemu_file_getlength(). What about making it
uint64_t?
It sounds better, I will change the return value from size_t to uint64_t.
Thank you for pointing it out, Eduardo!
