The problem there is that for a lot of tests the dependency is in common
include file (like server.inc or connect.inc) and extracting it into the
main file may be a bit time-consuming and also means we'd have to keep
the information in sync in many places at once.

To have a predictable order and reproducible test runs? Imagine we have
an inadvertent test dependency, in which test X fails after test Y is
run. If the order is stable, it is relatively easy to discover. If it is
random, reproducing the exact test alignment which caused the failure is
next to impossible.

Hi,

Hi Ferenc :-),



I know that you are a reguler on internals (and that you
already have wiki

patches
before handing out karma.

I already have rights on the wiki?


yeah, you have voting right already:

I don't know how to list my contributions on the documentation

I suppose those are for the english documentation, right?

As I said on IRC, he already contributed many patches, docs or bugs reports.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Implemented fallocate() syscall in streams

The difference between ftruncate and fallocate is meaningless in userland.

If `fallocate` is proposed in the user-land, then it will be logical to have
it in the stream wrapper API. That's it :-).

I admit that it would be nice for consistency, however I wonder how
users will interpret the difference between ftruncate and fallocate.
Users will interpret exactly what the documentation says ;-). Since PHP 
is a scripting language, it is just a collection of cross-platform 
bindings (on the top of C APIs in the case of php-src). Some bindings 
are just more advanced ones than others. That's all. Someone will be 
likely to use `fallocate` some day, for sure.


Cheers.

Hey Anatol ;-)

Would you mind working with me finalizing this patch so that we could
merge it in master for a 5.7 and Next eventually ?
I'll update the PR next week with tests, then we'll be able to talk
about the implementation to use for crossplatform.

Thank you

 I don't know if Windows can support that. Pierre, Anatol ? :-)

 Tests are beeing written at the moment.

 I didn't implement this is user stream handlers, as this really is a
 low level implementation design that is kind of useless for usage in
 user streams.

Whitelists are very limitating by nature, nobody will go and add tests 
to this whitelist, I think. I don't think a script is a viable way to 
whitelist tests (think about all those tests with with includes or 
config files, etc). Tests that fail due to concurrency will be easier 
noticed and added to a concurrency group or even better be fixed.

I added a CONCURRENCY_GROUP section, see
https://github.com/m6w6/php-src/compare/parallel-run-tests?expand=1

If the next test to execute is in the same CONCURRENCY_GROUP as one 
which is already/still running, it will be pushed back.

So tests with f.e. listening servers could use "port:" as 
CONCURRENCY_GROUP or mysql tests could use "mysql:dbname", etc. As 
example, I added the open_basedir tests to one group because they all  
tamper around with the same subdirectories.

I also added a shuffle($test_files) if $concurrency is greater than 2 
because that helps running the test suite concurrently actually. 
Anybody got an idea why the tests are sorted at all?
