For a full build log on s390x see [1]. Gah, my progress display fixes strike again... I think the patch below should fix it, but I could only test it on little-endian systems. Could you please confirm that it indeed works on big-endian as well? --- >8 --- Subject: [PATCH] test-progress: fix test failures on big-endian systems In 't0500-progress-display.sh' all tests running 'test-tool progress --total=<N>' fail on big-endian systems, e.g. like this: + test-tool progress --total=3 Working hard [...] + test_i18ncmp expect out --- expect 2019-10-18 23:07:54.765523916 +0000 +++ out 2019-10-18 23:07:54.773523916 +0000 @@ -1,4 +1,2 @@ -Working hard: 33% (1/3)<CR> -Working hard: 66% (2/3)<CR> -Working hard: 100% (3/3)<CR> -Working hard: 100% (3/3), done. +Working hard: 0% (1/12884901888)<CR> +Working hard: 0% (3/12884901888), done. The reason for that bogus value is that '--total's parameter is parsed via parse-options's OPT_INTEGER into a uint64_t variable [1], so the two bits of 3 end up in the "wrong" bytes on big-endian systems (12884901888 = 0x300000000). Change the type of that variable from uint64_t to int, to match what parse-options expects; in the tests of the progress output we won't use values that don't fit into an int anyway. [1] start_progress() expects the total number as an uint64_t, that's why I chose the same type when declaring the variable holding the value given on the command line.
