The test previously hardcoded an expected compressed size for BIG_ENDIAN platforms. With recent changes to Snappy’s compression logic, the output size is now identical on both little-endian and big-endian systems, making the endianness-specific assertion invalid.

Summary of Changes

Hello @yasiribmcon, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates a test case within SnappyOutputStreamTest.java to reflect changes in Snappy's compression behavior. The modification removes a conditional assertion that was previously specific to Big Endian platforms, as the compressed data size is now uniform regardless of the system's endianness. This ensures the test accurately validates the compression quality under the current Snappy implementation.

Highlights

  • Test Refinement: Removed a Big Endian-specific compressed size assertion in SnappyOutputStreamTest.java because recent changes to Snappy's compression logic have made the output size consistent across different endianness systems, rendering the previous assertion invalid.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • src/test/java/org/xerial/snappy/SnappyOutputStreamTest.java
    • Removed the if (ByteOrder.nativeOrder() == ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN) block that asserted a specific compressed data length for Big Endian systems.

Code Review

This pull request correctly removes a now-obsolete assertion for Big Endian platforms in the test suite, reflecting recent updates to Snappy's compression logic. My review includes one suggestion to improve the robustness of a string comparison in the modified test code.

if (ByteOrder.nativeOrder() == ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN)
assertEquals(90992, expectedCompressedData.length);
else if(OSInfo.getArchName() == "aarch64")
if(OSInfo.getArchName() == "aarch64")

In Java, you should use the .equals() method for string comparison instead of ==. The == operator checks for reference equality (whether they are the same object), not value equality (whether they have the same character sequence). While this might work in some cases due to string interning, it's not a reliable practice and can lead to unexpected behavior. Using .equals() is safer and more explicit.

Suggested change
if(OSInfo.getArchName() == "aarch64")
if("aarch64".equals(OSInfo.getArchName()))
