From aeaeb87c134ce748527ba99e749b7369fcba2438 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 17:01:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tests: head-c: avoid spurious failure with a 32-bit size_t * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Don't try to elide 1 exabytes, since on 32-bit systems, that number is not representable as a size_t. This command would fail on 32-bit systems, where SIZE_MAX < 1E: head --bytes=-E < /dev/null Instead of "E", use $SSIZE_MAX.
