tests: Drop fatal assert on big-endian archs (757 bytes, patch)

Description Kalev Lember 2018-05-21 16:16:22 UTC 
When building newly released vala 0.40.5 for F28, one of the tests fails on ppc64 and s390x (both big endian):

  /methods/bug634753: [72GFAIL
**
ERROR:/builddir/build/BUILD/vala-0.40.5/tests/_test/main.c:32735:methods_bug634753_foo: assertion failed: (a.length == 32)

tests: Drop fatal assert on big-endian archs

The assert isn't required to verify this specific fix, but obviously shows
another underlying issue.
Comment 2 Kalev Lember 2018-05-21 18:17:57 UTC 
Thanks! The underlying issue is a codegen regression that appeared between 0.40.4 and 0.40.5, right? And I should probably just keep 0.40.4 in Fedora for now because of that, or am I understanding this wrong?

No, this is a different issue and not a regression. So an update is recommended.
Comment 4 Kalev Lember 2018-05-21 18:33:47 UTC 
Okay, I'll backport the test removal then. Thanks!

I cannot move this issue to GitLab for some reason, feel free to reopen in there!

Carlos: What's the link to the Gitlab item? (Or how is 'reopen' meant, as this Bugzilla ticket is not closed?)
Comment 7 Carlos Soriano 2018-07-12 19:29:52 UTC 
Hey andre, I meant to replicate it there by copy pasting or other methods.

Weird it's not closed indeed...
Comment 8 André Klapper 2020-11-07 20:24:09 UTC 
Assuming this is obsolete nowadays. If not then please report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/-/issues/
