fix #208

Fixes two Windows (LLP64) issues reported via the VCPKG port: binary file corruption on download and 32-bit 'long' overflow for files larger than 2 GiB.

Binary-safe downloads:

  • DownloadObject: open the temp output stream with std::ios::binary. On Windows the default text mode translates newlines and treats 0x1A as EOF, corrupting downloaded binary content (e.g. zip archives).

Large file support (LLP64: 'long' is strictly 32-bit on Windows):

  • SelectResult (types.h) and the parser in select.cc: bytes_scanned / bytes_processed / bytes_returned switch from 'long int' to 'long long', and std::stol to std::stoll
  • StatObject (baseclient.cc): parse the content-length header with std::stoll so resp.size (size_t) is not truncated above 2 GiB
  • ComposeSource (args.h/args.cc): object_size_ member and its assignment switch from 'long' to 'long long' so composing sources larger than 2 GiB does not overflow

No behavioral change on LP64 platforms (Linux/macOS), where 'long' is already 64-bit.

Files changed: include/miniocpp/args.h, include/miniocpp/types.h, src/args.cc, src/baseclient.cc, src/client.cc, src/select.cc

    • Enhanced parsing of large content-length and event metric values.
    • Empty metric values are now reported as unavailable instead of placeholder values.
    • Fixed object downloads to reliably write binary data across platforms.
    • Improved compatibility with supported C++17 builds.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for 64-bit Select statistics and metric handling.
    • Expanded validation for protocol frames and binary download scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces sentinel-based size and metric values with optional types, uses 64-bit parsing, updates RDMA context initialization for C++17, and opens temporary download files in binary mode. Tests cover large Select metrics and binary payloads.

Changes

Windows compatibility and large-file handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Optional sizes and Select metrics
include/miniocpp/args.h, src/args.cc, include/miniocpp/types.h, src/select.cc, src/baseclient.cc, tests/tests.cc
Object sizes and Select metrics use optional values. Parsing uses std::stoll. Tests validate metrics above the 32-bit range.
C++17 RDMA context initialization
include/miniocpp/rdma.h, src/baseclient.cc, src/client.cc
RDMA client contexts use positional aggregate initialization. Documentation reflects C++17 initialization.
Binary download handling
src/client.cc, tests/tests.cc
Temporary downloads use binary mode. Tests verify newline, Ctrl-Z, NUL, and trailing binary data.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 461d4

The Windows download and large-file compatibility changes are localized, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit checks each measured byte,
Wide values now parse right.
Empty fields stay unset and clear,
Binary streams keep payloads here,
C++17 guides the way.

BytesReturned values all exceed INT32_MAX, then assert the callback receives the
exact long long values. Keep the test independent of large objects and ensure it
would detect any regression from std::stoll to std::stol, particularly on
Windows.

107-143: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Encode a standard EventStream header block. The lengths and CRCs are correct, but EventStream headers have no terminator byte. The appended 0 makes the test frame non-wire-compatible and masks SelectHandler::DecodeHeader's sentinel-based parsing.

EventStream header sections (per AWS S3 and MinIO) contain only the
encoded headers; the prelude's headers-length is the boundary, there is
no terminator byte. The appended 0 made the synthetic Select frame
non-wire-compatible and masked the parser's reliance on an empty
remaining header buffer.
