Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] t4205: compare huge output without diff
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:35:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925-ci-large-test-resources-v2-1-f632cf319756@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925-ci-large-test-resources-v2-0-f632cf319756@gmail.com>
The huge-commit test compares output containing a line larger than 2 GiB.
For two identical files containing 2,147,483,649 "1" bytes followed by
"0\n", GNU diffutils 3.8 on Linux arm64 gives these measurements:
Command Mean +/- stddev Maximum RSS (KiB)
diff -u expect actual 5.276 +/- 0.572 s 4199924
cmp expect actual 0.506 +/- 0.099 s 1264
The test needs only an equality check. Use test_cmp_bin, which runs cmp,
to compare the output byte for byte with less time and memory.
