# 32-bit ABI bugs
`off_t` is 32-bit
-----------------
## 32-bit `off_t` and `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`
On 32-bit Android, `off_t` is a signed 32-bit integer. This limits functions
that use `off_t` to working on files no larger than 2GiB.
@ -34,13 +32,19 @@ all functions that take an `off_t` become unavailable. You've asked for their
increase your target API level, you'll have more and more of the functions
available. API 12 adds some of the `<unistd.h>` functions, API 21 adds `mmap`,
and by API 24 you have everything including `<stdio.h>`. See the
[linker map](libc/libc.map.txt) for full details.
[linker map](libc/libc.map.txt) for full details. Note also that in NDK r16 and
later, we inline an mmap64 implementation in the headers when you target an API
before 21 because it's an easy special case that's often needed. This means
that code using `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64` and `mmap` will always compile.
If your code stops compiling when you move to NDK r15 or later, removing any
definition of `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64` will restore the behavior you used to have:
you'll have a 32-bit `off_t` and use the 32-bit functions.
In the 64-bit ABI, `off_t` is always 64-bit.
`sigset_t` is too small for real-time signals
---------------------------------------------
## `sigset_t` is too small for real-time signals
On 32-bit Android, `sigset_t` is too small for ARM and x86 (but correct for
MIPS). This means that there is no support for real-time signals in 32-bit

In the 64-bit ABI, `sigset_t` is the correct size for every architecture.
`time_t` is 32-bit
------------------
## `time_t` is 32-bit
On 32-bit Android, `time_t` is 32-bit. The header `<time64.h>` and type
`time64_t` exist as a workaround, but the kernel interfaces exposed on 32-bit

In the 64-bit ABI, `time_t` is 64-bit.
`pthread_mutex_t` is too small for large pids
---------------------------------------------
## `pthread_mutex_t` is too small for large pids
This doesn't generally affect Android devices, because on devices
`/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max` is usually too small to hit the 16-bit limit,
