[PATCH 06/11] t4211: retire soon-to-be unimplementable tests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



58960978 and 99780b0a added tests which demonstrated bugs (crashes) in
range-set and line-log when handed empty ranges specified via "log
-LX:file" where X is one greater than the last line of the file.  After
these tests were added, it was realized that the ability to specify an
empty range is a loophole due to a bug in -L bounds checking. That bug
is slated to be fixed in a subsequent patch.

Unfortunately, the closure of this loophole makes it impossible to
continue checking range-set and line-log behavior with regard to empty
ranges since there is no other way to specify empty ranges via the
command-line.  APIs of both facilities are private (file static) so
there likewise is no way to test their behaviors programmatically.
Consequently, retire these two tests.
