Hi Dongming,
Thanks for the report, and for working on the fix. Can you please
create a commitfest entry (if you haven't already)? I plan to look at
this soon, after the code freeze.
Are you proposing that the test_dsa module should be added to the
tree? If so, some trivial observations: "#ifndef
HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP" isn't needed anymore (see commit b6aa17e0, which
is in all supported branches), the year should be updated, and we use
size_t instead of Size in new code.
