# @(#)README.win32 8.4 (Sleepycat) 6/2/98
|
|
|
|
These notes are for build/running/changing dbtest on Win32 platforms
|
|
(only!). At this point, I've only really tried Win/NT. And because I
|
|
really want to test/debug DB, I've taken the path of least resistance in
|
|
fixing the dbtest environment. Hopefully, these hacks can be fixed over
|
|
time, via changes to the scripts or whatever.
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
BUILDING dbtest.
|
|
|
|
1) Open the build.win32/Berkeley_DB.dsw workspace,
|
|
2) Set the active configuration to dbtest - Debug.
|
|
3) Build. That should create a build.win32/dbtest.exe file.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the other executables made via this workspace, dbtest.exe is not
|
|
put in the debug subdirectory, but directly in build.win32. This is
|
|
needed because the tcl scripts expect subordinate dbtest processes to be
|
|
run via "./dbtest args..." .
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
RUNNING dbtest.
|
|
|
|
You will need a set of UNIX-like utilities to even think of running these
|
|
tests. Currently, it requires: cp, diff, kill, ls, mkdir, mv, rm, sed,
|
|
sleep, sort and tr. I'm using the MKS/NT package, which mostly works.
|
|
If you use this package, see MKS/NT notes below. I'd bet the GNU
|
|
utilities would work better. Before starting the tests, you need to:
|
|
|
|
1) cd build.win32
|
|
2) Edit the ./include.tcl file, changing the command entries to point to
|
|
your executables. For example, the line:
|
|
|
|
set DIFF c:/tools/diff.exe
|
|
|
|
in my case is changed to:
|
|
|
|
set DIFF c:/mksnt/diff.exe
|
|
|
|
3) Copy debug/dbrecover.exe dbrecover.exe . (Needed for recd test.)
|
|
4) Make the source CHANGES discussed below.
|
|
5) ./dbtest (You should get a '%' prompt.)
|
|
6) % run_all (This will take hours, producing an ALL.OUT file.)
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
RUNNING individual tests.
|
|
|
|
Instead of step 6) above, you can run individual tests, e.g.
|
|
|
|
% r btree
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
% test001 hash
|
|
|
|
See test/README for details. Note, you will probably want to run:
|
|
|
|
./dbtest -debug
|
|
|
|
so that any traps stop in the debugger.
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
FAILURES
|
|
|
|
Places where the tests still fail:
|
|
|
|
1) memp003 (first time)
|
|
memp_unlink:./TESTDIR: expected 0, got memp_unlink: Error 0
|
|
|
|
I guess that someone still has the db open at the time of the unlink,
|
|
similar to the common/db_region.c/runlink() CHANGE above, but I don't
|
|
see where or how this happens.
|
|
|
|
2) memp003 (second time? after dbtest ../test/mpoolscript.tcl ... -shmem name)
|
|
get_verify/RO: expected absenteesabsentees, got absentees
|
|
|
|
3) Rsrc001.a: Read file, rewrite last record; write it out and diff
|
|
getlast: expected This is record 3 This is record 3 This is record 3, got This is record 3 This is record 3 This is record 3
|
|
|
|
Maybe CR/NL issue?
|
|
|
|
4) Recd005.1.d:
|
|
About to run recovery ... Recovery error: db_recover: appinit failed: Permission denied.
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
DEVELOPER NOTES
|
|
|
|
The dbtest program *cannot* current be linked with the DLL version of
|
|
libdb. This is because of the use of function pointers across dll
|
|
boundaries. The __db_jump structure (see os_func.h, os_map.c) stores
|
|
function pointers in a global structure. Unfortunately the address of
|
|
these functions apparently cannot be used to jump to the functions outside
|
|
of the DLL (presumably a way to store a "global-accessible" function
|
|
pointer is available with a pragma, dunno how MS does this). For now,
|
|
most of these issues are dealt with by linking static. Of course, this
|
|
may introduce other issues since we are linking against a DLL version of
|
|
Tcl, so we get multiple versions of malloc linked into our application.
|
|
Sigh. Fortunately that doesn't cause too much trouble, we merely need to
|
|
comment out a free call at the end of list_to_numarray() in test/utils.c
|
|
. That's the only known place where Tcl mallocs memory that we try to
|
|
free. (Linking with the DLL version of libdb doesn't fix this either!).
|
|
|
|
Also due to shared library issues, you may see errors reported as:
|
|
|
|
memp_unlink:./TESTDIR: expected 0, got memp_unlink: Error 0
|
|
|
|
Rather than a more meaningful error:
|
|
|
|
... got memp_unlink: no such file or directory
|
|
|
|
This has been isolated to a shared lib in using the Tcl_PosixError()
|
|
function. Setting errno = n; in one shared library does not necessarily
|
|
make it visible in another shared library. Thank you, MS.
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
MKSNT notes:
|
|
|
|
If you are using MKS NT, you will find that there are a few tests that
|
|
don't work out of the box, because there are some tests that produce
|
|
input/output data that has very long (> 2048 char) lines that are longer
|
|
than the MKS default limit. The 'diff' and 'sort' commands both break on
|
|
these long lines. The 'diff' problem can be more or less solved by
|
|
setting:
|
|
|
|
set DIFF c:/mksnt/diff.exe
|
|
|
|
since you only care in this case whether outputs are different, not so
|
|
much the actual differences.
|
|
|
|
The 'sort' problem can be fixed by changing the maximum record length on
|
|
the command line, adding a '-z16384' option does the trick. You can
|
|
change the .tcl script or hack up a replacement for sort.exe that calls
|
|
the real sort.exe with the extra options. Unfortunately changing
|
|
include.tcl to have the extra option doesn't work (I'm a neophyte to tcl,
|
|
maybe there's an easy way to do this).
