If you are a coder and think you have found a bug in libsamplerate then read on. </P> <P> Secret Rabbit Code is an extremely complex piece of code but I do think that it is relatively bug free. In addition, the source code distribution includes a comprehensive test suite for regression testing. This means it is extremely unlikely that new bugs creep in when modifications are made to the code. </P> <P> SRC is also not the most simple library to use which means that I do get a number of bug reports which turn out to be bugs in the user's program rather than bugs in SRC. Up until now, I have investigated each bug report as thoroughly as possible. Unfortunately, this chews up a lot of my time which could otherwise be spent improving SRC, working on other Free Software or spending time with my family. </P> <P> I have therefore decided, that I cannot investigate any bug report unless the person reporting the problem can supply me with a short self contained test program or a modification to one of the existing test programs in the tests/ directory of the source code distribution. The test program should meet the following criteria: </P> <UL> <LI>Written in C or C++. <LI>Does not use any libraries or header files other than the ones which are standard for the relevant languages. (Of course libsamplerate can be used :-)). <LI>It is the minimal program which can adequately display the problem. <LI>It clearly displays the criteria for pass or fail. </UL> <P> Supplying a good test program will maximize the speed with which your bug report gets dealt with. </P> <!-- pepper --> <!-- <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">For the spam bots</A> --> <!-- pepper --> </DIV> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
