#51037 [Opn]: Test var_dump() function fails

ID: 51037 User updated by: jvp at 4ssl dot us Reported By: jvp at 4ssl dot us Status: Open Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: centos 5.4 x86_64 PHP Version: 5.2.12 New Comment: OH! THOSE diff files. i am sorry, i am normally quite content to wait for rpm's to float down from centos, but i need 5.2.12 for an nginx install i feel i need to do to handle a volume situation. since i rarely use source to install, i had completely forgotten about the test diff's being created. they are all available here: http://4ssl.us/webdev/ these include three fails that were 'expected' which i have yet had time to look into why that is so. -- thank you, johann Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 02:18:13] rasmus@php.net He wasn't asking for patches. Whenever a test fails and .diff file is generated for that test that shows the difference between the expected output and the actual output of the test. Without those, your bug reports of failed tests are useless. We have no idea whether it is a local configuration issue, a compile issue or a genuine bug that might be causing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 02:16:10] jvp at 4ssl dot us i do not have any patches. i took a fresh 5.2.12 and did configure, make, and make test. make completed, but make test produced the noted errors, infra: 13 FAILED TESTS: for php 5.2.12 on 12 FEB 2010 13:00 PST --------------------------------------------------------------------- #50971 -- checking: might be fixed in svn Bug #43073 (TrueType bounding box is wrong for angle<>0) [ext/gd/tests/bug43073.phpt] Bug #48801 (Problem with imagettfbbox) [ext/gd/tests/bug48801.phpt] Test imagecolorallocate() function : usage variations - passing different data types to fourth argument [ext/gd/tests/imagecolorallocate_variation4.phpt] #50627 -- id'd: several hex vals wrong in tests mhash() test [ext/mhash/tests/001.phpt] mhash_keygen_s2k() test [ext/mhash/tests/003.phpt] #51033 -- new Bug #41125 (PDO mysql + quote() + prepare() can result in seg fault) [ext/pdo_mysql/tests/bug41125.phpt] #51034 -- new Bug #44327 (PDORow::queryString property & numeric offsets / Crash) [ext/pdo_mysql/tests/bug44327.phpt] #51035 -- new Test posix_getgrgid() function : basic functionality [ext/posix/tests/posix_getgrgid_basic.phpt] #51036 -- new Bug #34657 (If you get a communication problem when loading the WSDL, it fatal's) [ext/soap/tests/bugs/bug34657.phpt] #51037 -- new Test var_dump() function [ext/standard/tests/general_functions/var_dump_64bit.phpt] #51038 -- new HTML entities with invalid chars [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities-utf.phpt] #51039 -- new Test setlocale() function : usage variations - Setting all available locales in the platform [ext/standard/tests/strings/setlocale_variation2.phpt] #51040 -- new xmlwriter_write_attribute_ns with missing param [ext/xmlwriter/tests/xmlwriter_write_attribute_ns_error_001.phpt] -- thank you, johann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 01:42:49] derick@php.net Please provide the diff files (for this and all the other bugs you filed tonight). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 01:31:48] jvp at 4ssl dot us i AM compiling from source. i agree that test failures may be due to a bogus test, but these have been in use for some time now and errors should be corrected or the bugs noted. since var_dump is hardly an arcane, little-used function; i would imagine problems should be afforded some timely attention. using: .\configure \ --disable-cgi \ --disable-ipv6 \ --enable-bcmath \ --enable-calendar \ --enable-dom \ --enable-exif \ --enable-fastcgi \ --enable-force-cgi-redirect \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-gd-jis-conv \ --enable-gd-native-ttf \ --enable-json \ --enable-pdo \ --enable-short-tags \ --enable-soap \ --enable-sockets \ --enable-zip \ --with-Xpm-dir \ --with-apxs2=\usr\sbin\apxs \ --with-bz2 \ --with-curl \ --with-db4 \ --with-freetype-dir \ --with-gd \ --with-gettext \ --with-imap \ --with-imap-ssl \ --with-jpeg-dir \ --with-kerberos \ --with-libdir=lib64 \ --with-mcrypt \ --with-mhash \ --with-mysql \ --with-mysql-sock \ --with-mysqli \ --with-ncurses \ --with-pdo-mysql \ --with-png-dir \ --with-pspell \ --with-snmp \ --with-t1lib \ --with-ttf \ --with-xpm-dir \ --with-xsl \ --with-zlib-dir -- thank you, johann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 01:18:41] derick@php.net Please don't provide this little information. At *least* provide the diff files. In most cases, test failures are however because of simple changes on the system and it is *important* that you compile PHP from source and not use a distribution's package. Test failures are also not necessarily bugs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
