The 'test_memcpy()' in tinytest_demo.c assumes
there is a NUL in one of the buffers. (the comment says so). That's
not the case here on Windows. At least not in MSVC debug-mode
where malloc'ed buffers are filled with '0xCD'. A snippet from my output:
../ext/tinytest_demo.c:159: assert(db->buffer1 < db->buffer2):
537472696E67203000CDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCD
...
vs 537472696E67203000CDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCDCD
...
[memcpy FAILED]
I assume this test works on Linux where AFAICS malloc() returns a buffer
with zeros. If so, shouldn't calloc() be used in 'setup_data_buffer()' instead?
