[libcxx-commits] [libcxx] [libcxx] [test] Add a test parameter for disabling memory intensive tests (PR #68214)

[Martin Storsjö via libcxx-commits]

https://github.com/mstorsjo created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/68214

Specifically, the test
std/input.output/string.streams/stringstream/stringstream.members/gcount.pass.cpp allocates a std::string with INT_MAX-1 elements, and then writes this to a std::stringstream. On Linux, running this test consumes around 5.0 GB of memory; on Windows, it ends up using up to 6.8 GB of memory.

This limits whether such tests can run on e.g. GitHub Actions runners, where the free runners are limited to 8 GB of memory.

This is somewhat similar to, but still notably different, from the existing test parameter long_tests.

allocates a std::string with INT_MAX-1 elements, and then writes
this to a std::stringstream. On Linux, running this test consumes
around 5.0 GB of memory; on Windows, it ends up using up to
6.8 GB of memory.

This limits whether such tests can run on e.g. GitHub Actions
runners, where the free runners are limited to 8 GB of memory.
