33 * 32-bit st_*time fields as that is how the 32-bit GLib DLL normally

35 * g_stat(), do take it seriously and make sure that the type of
36 * struct stat the code in GLib fills in matches the struct the type
37 * of struct stat you pass to g_stat(). To avoid hassle, to get file
38 * attributes just use the GIO API instead which doesn't use struct
39 * stat.
41 * Sure, it would be nicer to use a struct with 64-bit st_size and
42 * 64-bit st_*time fields, but changing that now would break ABI. And
43 * in MinGW, a plain "struct stat" is the one with 32-bit st_size and
44 * st_*time fields.
