    Fix for bug #31254: "Max_data_length" truncated / reported wrong · c414c0bf
    unknown authored
    (compiler issue ?)
    
    Problem:
    
    Improper compile-time flags on AIX prevented use of files > 2 GB. This
    resulted in Max_data_length being truncated to 2 GB by MyISAM code.
    
    Solution:
    
    Reverted large-file changes from the fix for bug10776. We need to define
    _LARGE_FILES on AIX to have support for files > 2 GB.
    
     Since _LARGE_FILE_API is incompatible with _LARGE_FILES and may be
    automatically defined by including standards.h, we also need a
    workaround to avoid this conflict.

    include/my_global.h:
      _LARGE_FILE_API is defined in standards.h that is automatically included
      by at least some C++ compilers on AIX. Since it is also incompatible
      with _LARGE_FILES which is required for POSIX IO calls to be
      largefile-safe, the only workaround is to explicitely #undef
      _LARGE_FILE_API.
