Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: start testing strings > 2GB Initial Comment: Incomplete patch. Would be great if someone picked this up and ran with it. Need to be conservative and try not to use too much memory in these tests. Should start with strings and unicode. Those will be the most important things to test first. Then can move to arrays, mmap and other sequences. Eventually on to lists, sets, and dicts. Right now, I'm sticking this in Lib/tests/bigmem/test_str.py. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-04-19 10:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Cool. I hadn't gotten a chance to run this yet. In fact, I never even verified it was syntactically correct. :-) Hopefully, this gives others the idea and they can help beef up the tests. Thanks for testing it out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thomas Wouters (twouters) Date: 2006-04-19 08:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=34209 FWIW, I have a couple of 16Gb AMD64 machines at work, that I'm preparing to be database servers. As long as they aren't in production, I'm using them in off-hours to run with these tests, although I don't know how far I'll get. (On the other hand, it already found a couple of bugs ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1471578&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
