I just noticed
With a document that does not have the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE option set, allocating more than 2G (calling SCI_ALLOCATE or similar) will now fail with SC_STATUS_FAILURE.
in 5.4.1 release notes. I'm not sure how geany behaves for large files and whether we should set this flag or not.
It won't be as easy as setting a flag; for eample, you would need SCI_GETTEXTRANGEFULL here:
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/7a017c764038bcdfcb99db7365c3196fd8aebdbf/src/sciwrappers.c#L1145
And then every plugin has to start using the 64-bit character range APIs to safely handle >2GiB files on Windows, because on that platform the legacy Sci_CharacterRange struct can only hold 32-bit positions (sizeof(long) == 4).
When Notepad++ decided to support huge files the ABI breakage was a total clusterf**k.
