Emacs can do it (I just tried it). It's quite slow, but it works. And even if it didn't work, core commands like 'diff' shouldn't arbitrarily limit themselves to small files. No doubt 'diff' can be fixed to work even on MS-Windows platforms. However, arbitrarily limiting line numbers to 32 bits is not the way to go about it.

Perhaps someday somebody will contribute self-contained patches for that, patches that do not significantly get in the way of maintaining diffutils. But it's unlikely that any maintainer will have time to spare to actually write the code for such a low-priority task. In the meantime, I suggest that you use GNU/Linux or some other more-GNUish platform; even Microsoft ships platforms like that nowadays.

Hi,
The verify macro in system.h:137 (diffutils3.5) fails on Windows.
This line contains the following code:
verify (sizeof (lin) <=3D sizeof (long int));
Because of a long on Windows remains 32-bit (for Visual Studio), even in 64=
-bit mode, this compile time assert fails. It is only for *NIX that a long =
sizes identical to the bit-ness of the build, similar to pointers.
For an integer type that properly sizes with pointers, you need to use intp=
tr_t. See also https://msdn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/s3f49ktz.aspx.
I'm not sure how gcc behaves on Windows, but event then intptr_t is probabl=
y the better type to use.
If Visual Studio is used, then the _MSCVER macro is set, see also https://m=
sdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0084kay.aspx.
Can you please fix this?
Regards,
Kees
