[Box Backup-dev] Failing test (was: Win32 port)

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

After a few more tweaks I've got the ported 0.08 to compile again on 
Linux (I think this should fix it for all *nixes). However, some of the 
tests are failing and I don't know why.

Common tests are showing two problems: realloc doesn't move the allocated 
block, which I think Ben said is normal on some platforms, so I'm ignoring 
it. However, the GetLine tests are also failing. I don't know why that 
should be, as the port doesn't touch GetLine as far as I know.

Running in GDB:

198                     TEST_CHECK_THROWS(getline.GetLine(true), 
CommonException, GetLineEOF);
(gdb) n
Exception thrown: CommonException(GetLineEOF) at FdGetLine.cpp(76)
Exception thrown: CommonException(GetLineEOF) at FdGetLine.cpp(76)
Exception thrown: CommonException(GetLineEOF) at IOStreamGetLine.cpp(70)
Exception thrown: CommonException(GetLineEOF) at IOStreamGetLine.cpp(70)
Exception thrown: CommonException(OSFileError) at Configuration.cpp(104)
FAILED: Exception caught: Common OSFileError

>From the definition of TEST_CHECK_THROWS, I think it should have caught 
this exception, and I don't know why it didn't. I hate debugging macros - 
I can't step through it to make sure the code path being followed is what 
I'm expecting. Anyone have any ideas?

Backupstore tests aren't compiling, and I'm working on that.

Cheers, Chris.
