Having built sqlite 3.4.2 for Enterprise 3, 4, Fedora 5 and Solaris 8,
both 32 and 64 bits, I then ran the fulltest on each. As it takes a long
time and produces a large output, one looks first at the end, and if it
says "0 errors" one thinks everything is as expected.
By chance, I later discovered the following:
================================================
> ./testfixture ../sqlite-3.4.2/test/bigfile.test
bigfile-1.1... Ok
**** Unable to create a file larger than 4096 MB. *****
Memory leaked: 0 bytes in 0 allocations
soft-heap-limit changed by this script from 0 to
Thread-specific data deallocated properly
0 errors out of 2 tests
Failures on these tests:
==================================================
This happens on all my 32 bit builds. Not on the 64 bit ones.
In order to get large file functionality one has to configure with
CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
The problem is that "Unable to create a file larger than 4096 MB" is not
considered a failure, so that people who only see the "0 errors out of
409660 tests" at the end of the log file will not know they have the
problem.
It is really difficult to read the whole log file.
I suggest to
(a) make this a counted error, or else
(b) add an extra test specially for this problem, or else
(c) categorize the messages, prefixing them with a small number of
standard words, like "ERROR:" and "WARNING:" and "INFO:", which would
enable one to use grep or search in an editor. Then the problem above
could be a WARNING rather than a counted ERROR.

Victor Secarin
