+2GB zip % bug

Post by *frjd »

Hi

Im currently zipping approx. 10GB of data, I got the 2GB warning but I do not expect the resulting zip to be larger than 2GB.

Now to the problem, the procentage bar calculate wrong - currently it is at 765% Guess it is a varible overflow or something...

Indeed the percentage calculation uses 32-bit numbers (signed), because the 64-bit numbers cannot be used as thread-local storage (needed for zip background packing).
