This only works if D-BUS has been compiled with --enable-tests. +DBUS_TEST_MALLOC_FAILURES=n +Many of the D-BUS tests will run over and over, once for each malloc +involved in the test. Each run will fail a different malloc, plus some +number of mallocs following that malloc (because a fair number of bugs +only happen if two or more mallocs fail in a row, e.g. error recovery +that itself involves malloc). This env variable sets the number of +mallocs to fail. +Here's why you care: If set to 0, then the malloc checking is skipped, +which makes the test suite a heck of a lot faster. Just run with this +env variable unset before you commit. + Tests === |
