[Expat-discuss] 64 bit integers in Expat 2.0?

[Karl Waclawek]

We are trying to decide whether we should change some API return values
to 64 bit integers to support file sizes > 2GB. Affected would be these 
API members:

XML_GetCurrentByteIndex()
XML_GetCurrentByteCount()
XML_GetCurrentLineNumber()
XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber()

Obviously this requires applications to be recompiled.

The question is, how "breaking" would that change be?
How many applications are actually using these members?

Should this be delayed after the release of Expat 2.0?
