Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Should checked api and ran tests be added to the Windows-XP-Win64 automated buil

[Guy Harris <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The checked api test would, I think, be useful only if either

	1) it would give a different answer on Win64

or

	2) it takes a large amount of time and would be faster on Win64.

Unless it would give a different answer, it would not be useful to  
*add* it, as you'd just get the same answer twice.

It appears to take about 1 minute and 10 seconds, if I'm reading

	http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/waterfall

correctly; the entire build takes about an hour and a half, so I don't  
think the speed of the checked api tests is an issue.

I also don't know of any reason why it'd give a different answer on  
Win64, as it's just a Perl script scanning source code - it should  
give the same answer on all platforms, modulo places where it depends  
(probably unintentionally) on behavior specific to particular versions  
of the Perl interpreter or Perl packages.
