Hi * I have another hard-to-explain test failure under --valgrind. I hope it's not yet another bug buried deep in valgrind itself... Doing the following on current next (v1.7.2.1-230-g75e8ac1) stops after a number of iterations, usually within 5 minutes: while GIT_SKIP_TESTS="t0025.[5-9] t0025.??" \ ./t0025-crlf-auto.sh --valgrind --root=/dev/shm --tee -i do : done I can reproduce this both on the machine I use for valgrinding, and my work laptop, and they're quite different: openSuSE 11.3, 2.6.34, gcc 4.5.0, glibc 2.11.2 RHEL 5.4, 2.6.18, gcc 4.1.2, glibc 2.5 I ordinarily run a bleeding edge valgrind on both (calls itself 3.6.0SVN) because of the env handling bug from last month, but I also tried with valgrind 3.5.0 on the RHEL box, same problem. It seems random whether it stops at test 3 or 4, but #4 seems more frequent.

I gained no extra information by doing so; it just stops at a random iteration with an empty diff. Maybe it shifts the weight slightly towards #3 failing, but that could just as well be the placebo effect, I have not done any statistics. It looks like expecting success: rm -f .gitattributes tmp one two three && echo "two text" > .gitattributes && git read-tree --reset -u HEAD && # Note, "normalized" means that git will normalize it if added has_cr two && xxd two && test_must_fail git diff --exit-code two 0000000: 490d 0a61 6d0d 0a76 6572 790d 0a76 6572 I..am..very..ver 0000010: 790d 0a66 696e 650d 0a74 6861 6e6b 0d0a y..fine..thank.. 0000020: 796f 750d 0a you.. not ok - 4 text=true causes a CRLF file to be normalized # # # rm -f .gitattributes tmp one two three && # echo "two text" > .gitattributes && # git read-tree --reset -u HEAD && # # # Note, "normalized" means that git will normalize it if added # has_cr two && # xxd two && # test_must_fail git diff --exit-code two # I.e., nothing out of the ordinary except that the diff is empty. So... does anyone have any ideas what to test next?
