Greetings,

I have the following C code - https://gist.github.com/967968
When I ran it on a 100000 records file, it says 100030. (Both C and
Python implementation count 10000).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

You found a bug in the C library's file reader code; I've opened up a bug report for it:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-819

The problem is that the file reader code isn't propagating errors correctly up through the call stack; which makes avro_file_reader_read not detect EOF; which makes you loop through the final block of the file twice.  That's where the extra 30 records in your count comes from — in the file you're reading, the final block must contain 30 records.

I've got a patch ready for this; I'll test on a couple of platforms and then commit it to Subversion.
