Comment:

 Fixed use of SetFilePointer in [42353] in branches/iostreams_dev, to be
 merged with trunk shortly.

 Regarding the ability to resize an existing file, this is anot a supported
 feature. The new_file_size property of mapped_file_param is just a way to
 create a new file of a specified size.

 I realize that this is an old ticket, so you may not be interested in the
 issue anymore; however, if you would like to submit a feature request, I
 will consider it for 1.36. My initial feeling is that it should be a
 general file-resizing function, not limited to memory-mapped files; in
 that case, it would probably be best o put it in Boost.Filesystem.
