2007-10-10r2745: added some example talloc reportsAndrew Tridgell1-0/+22
(This used to be commit 10e2a4fd2b85d69b55efa8c36eb553dceda844ad)
2007-10-10r2744: ben elliston taught me about gcov today, which allows you to measureAndrew Tridgell1-1/+3
the % coverage in terms of lines of code of a test suite. I thought a good first place to start with gcov was the talloc test suite. When I started the test suite covered about 60% of all lines of code in talloc.c, and now it covers about 99%. The only lines not covered are talloc corruption errors, as that would cause smb_panic() to fire. It will be interesting to try gcov on the main Samba test suite for smbd. We won't achieve 100% coverage, but it would be nice to get to 90% or more. I also modified the talloc.c sources to be able to be build standalone, using: gcc -c -D_STANDALONE_ -Iinlcude lib/talloc.c that should make it much easier to re-use talloc in other projects (This used to be commit 8d4dc99b82efdf24b6811851c7bdd4af5a4c52c9)

told me he found the description confusing, and given that some of it was not correct I am not surprised! added some more docs on the reporting calls (This used to be commit 43079cfc80317b6d0d2679f9377aac259e0f8fc7)
