[PATCH v2 0/2] tests: replace mingw_test_cmp with a helper in C

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

 



On the heels of sending a patch to fix a performance regression due to a
mis-use of test_cmp
[https://lore.kernel.org/git/b9203ea247776332e4b6f519aa27d541207adc2f.1659097724.git.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/],
I was curious to see whether Git for Windows had the same issue. And it does
not
[https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/runs/7556381815?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:127]:
it passes t5351 in 22 seconds, even while using test_cmp to compare pack
files
[https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/3922f62f0d5991e9fe0a0817ebf89a91339c7705/t/t5351-unpack-large-objects.sh#L90].

The answer is of course that a test helper written in C is much faster than
writing the same in Bash, especially on Windows. This is especially sad when
said Bash code is only used on Windows. So I pulled out this helper from the
years-long effort to let Git for Windows use BusyBox' ash to run the test
suite. The result is this patch, which has been in Git for Windows since
June 2018.

Changes since v1:

 * Fixed double "with" in the commit message.
