Bug 13160 – ZipArchive.directory do not support read files with more than 65000 entries

Reading a post on D language forum I saw an answer with a snippet to read big zip files using memory mapped files, when I tried it with a zip file with more than 65000 entries it fails with: ---- std.zip.ZipException@../../../../src/libphobos/src/std/zip.d(49): ZipException: invalid directory entry 3 ---------------- ./zipTest() [0x403aca] ./zipTest() [0x41486f] ./zipTest() [0x414fcf] ./zipTest() [0x415200] ./zipTest() [0x414fcf] ./zipTest() [0x415168] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed) [0x7f5c4e90e76d] ./zipTest() [0x4038b9] ---------------- ====== import std.stdio, std.zip, std.file, std.mmfile; int main() { auto mmfile = new MmFile(File("more-than-65000-entries.zip", "rb")); auto zip = new ZipArchive(mmfile[]); foreach (item; zip.directory) { writeln("processing ", item.name, " ..."); // processing item... } return 0; } ======

Here there is a description of the zip64 to read files with big number of files; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29#ZIP64
