Subject: [PATCH] If NO_MMAP is defined, fake mmap() and munmap()
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0510080050550.20922@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0510080050550.20922%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de

```

Since some platforms do not support mmap() at all, and others do only just 
so, this patch introduces the option to fake mmap() and munmap() by 
malloc()ing and read()ing explicitely.

Only lightly tested, but it seems to work correctly (after all, this 
commit was created after compiling with NO_MMAP=1).

I guess I can just drop Alex Riesen patch and any other recent
patches that try to work around mmap().  Happy!

Me too. I was just about to make a read_cache read the whole index in
(absolutely the same as Johannes, but not that elegant).

The platform(s) deserve such a treatment :)
