Somehow I added Jani, but removed internals. Re-sending.. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Tests - and a question Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 20:55:04 +0400 From: Antony Dovgal <antony@zend.com> To: Zoe Slattery <zoe.slattery@googlemail.com> CC: Jani Taskinen <sniper@iki.fi>, Raghubansh Kumar <kraghuba@in.ibm.com> References: <464891C7.3040806@googlemail.com> Actually I recently proposed to name 64bit tests as *_64bit.phpt and exclude them from the test run on 32bit automatically. Same thing can be done on 64bit - we can exclude *.phpt if *_64bit.phpt exists. That would speed up tests execution a bit. Jani had a different proposal, I didn't recall all the details, so I guess he'll explain it better. On 05/14/2007 08:43 PM, Zoe Slattery wrote:
