Hi, For those running the GDAL autotest suite, I just wanted to notify that I have added a mechanism to add 'slow' tests that aren't normaly run to avoid making a run of the autotest suite to last for too long. If the environment variable GDAL_RUN_SLOW_TESTS is set to YES when running the autotest, those tests will be run, otherwise they will be skipped (currently, there are just 2 such tests)
The justificiation is that some tests that trigger particular bugs, or that try to be exhaustive when testing some feature, cannot be written in a way where they will run fast (because of the algorithmic complexity, or the need to create big files, to use lots of memory, etc...) But it is a pity not to be able to test them on request, hence that mechanism. Disclaimer : slow tests ... may be really slow ;-) Best regards, Even _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
