SysUtils.FileSeek overload with Longint
Function FileSeek (Handle,FOffset,Origin : Longint) : Longint;
begin
result:=longint(FileSeek(Handle,int64(FOffset),Origin));
end;
Function FileSeek (Handle : Longint; FOffset : Int64; Origin : Longint) : Int64;
begin
FileSeek:=fplSeek (Handle,FOffset,Origin);
end;
A man tells about a problem with 1st FileSeek variant: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=56588.msg422001#msg422001
I suggest to help him. 1st overload must not be used for file sizes>2G, because we will get negative result in longint() cast. Let's raise an exception here, if longint() gets too huge value, value>2G. This way, man will see an exception and will edit his code, to force usage of 2nd FileSeek overload. Which gives OK result for all file sizes.
