All commands / use cases that heavily rely on double to a string representation conversion, (e.g. meaning take a double-precision floating-point number like 1.5 and return a string like "1.5" ), could benefit from a performance boost by swapping snprintf(buf,len,"%.17g",value) by the equivalent [fpconv_dtoa](https://github.com/night-shift/fpconv) or any other algorithm that ensures 100% coverage of conversion. This is a well-studied topic and Projects like MongoDB. RedPanda, PyTorch leverage libraries ( fmtlib ) that use the optimized double to string conversion underneath. The positive impact can be substantial. This PR uses the grisu2 approach ( grisu explained on https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/florian-loitsch/printf.pdf section 5 ). test suite changes: Despite being compatible, in some cases it produces a different result from printf, and some tests had to be adjusted. one case is that `%.17g` (which means %e or %f which ever is shorter), chose to use `5000000000` instead of 5e+9, which sounds like a bug? In other cases, we changed TCL to compare numbers instead of strings to ignore minor rounding issues (`expr 0.8 == 0.79999999999999999`)
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
| Option | Impact |
|---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_servercontexttagscontext that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
| Tag | Indicates |
|---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode. |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not compatible with --tls. |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the
external:skip tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
