Heh. But seriously, I hit a lot of crashes with sup, and that invariably led to *lots* of lost tag changes. I'm willing to live with lots of Xapian-defect-250 pain right now to avoid that lossage. > The issue I see with the "error, continue" pattern is that we are in > danger of not reporting the first error but the last one. OK. That would be a problem, yes. > Is notmuch ready for fault-injection yet? Maybe once you have a nasty > testsuite... It's not "ready" in the sense that there is going to be a huge series of fixes that fault-injection will find. But it's definitely "ready" in the sense that I want to start doing this kind of testing. But yes, we need a test suite. Oh, and we'll also need to deal with remaining glib usage inside of notmuch, (and inside of GMime as well), before we can do good testing for memory-fault injection. Maybe what we'll end up with is a patch to de-glib-ify GMime? I'm not sure. -Carl -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
