Overview
| Comment: | The issue with the skip code was not the limit to 64K, but how the code (a) assumed the wrong type for the result of 'read' (number of bytes, but is the read data), and (b) mis-handled short reads. Using 'string length' to convert the result type into what was needed, and using the proper condition was what fixed the issue, and not getting rid of the limit. I have now re-instated the limit, with in-code explanation of why it makes sense, and verified that this still passes the testsuite. I further changed the variable names to be much more self-documenting as well. |

| 23:39 | Fixed the testsuite up somewhat. (1) Moved helper code into separate file. (2) Replaced helper code blocks in variables with proper procedures. (3) Simplified setup1, cleanup1 No need to search for and create lots of temp dirs in setup, just remove the directory in cleanup. Now use single temp dir, fixed name. (4) Fixed setup of tests in general (4a) Added emacs mode marker to get proper Tcl mode. (4b) Added missing Tcl 8.5 requirement (4c) Use canonical 'use' command for access to local package (memchan). (5) Constrained the one test requiring Tcl 8.6 (zlib) It is not yet clear to me why the 'stream' helper (to create a large file) is so complex. check-in: 624a1ee7b8 user: andreask tags: pyk-tar | |
