Yes, I know trying to delta-compress with 4GiB files is insane, but OTOH, assertion failures are bugs by defintion. Delta source: <4GiB of zeroes> <random 64KiB block> Delta destination: <the same 64KiB block> This was created using: $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=test-delta-target bs=64k count=1 $ dd if=test-delta-target of=test-delta-source bs=64k seek=64k Now running $ ./test-delta -d test-delta-source test-delta-target test-delta-delta Crashes with (v1.7.2): test-delta: diff-delta.c:285: create_delta_index: Assertion `packed_entry - (struct index_entry *)mem == entries' failed. Aborted As note: The delta compression format does not allow delta compression to properly work in this case (since source offset would need to be 2^32 and biggest possible offset is 2^32-1), and thus the size of output should be on order of 66kB. -Ilari -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
