After successfully building dovecot 2.3.13 (linux kernel 5.10.1 , glibc-2.32 , gcc-9.3)
make check had one failure as follows :
test-buffer-istream.c:54: Assert failed: buffer_append_full_file(result, TEST_FILENAME, SIZE_MAX, &error) == BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR test-buffer-istream.c:56: Assert failed: error != NULL && *error != '\0' buffer_append_full_file .............................................. : FAILED
After a brief look at the referenced code in test-buffer-istream.c , I can't find out what this FAIL really means or whether it is serious.
The assert is finding that the result of the call to buffer_append_full_file is not BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR, but it does not report what the result code actually was. Maybe errno was actually 0 and call succeeded? I don't know. Nor can I see how to add some code to find out.
Can anyone offer any advice on what this means and/or how to investigate?
