Potential feature: Support for 64 bit offsets and length in dnlib.IO #538

Closed ElektroKill closed 8 months ago

ElektroKill commented 8 months ago

Currently all the code under dnlib.IO is restricted to 32-bit offsets and sizes making it hard to use in scenarios when using 64-bit offsets may be necessary.

Changing the code to support 64bit offsets would be a massive refactoring.

What do you think of this as a potential feature?

File offsets? 32 bits should be enough. A PE file can't be too big and a .NET PE file also has other size limitations.

Solved my issue by implementing DataStream differently. I guess I will close this now since it was not really in the scope of dnlib since the issue was in my own implementations!
