Use int64 wherever "64-bit integer" is assumed (#902)
Miller assumes 64-bit integers, but in Go, the int type varies in size
depending on the architecture: 32-bit architectures have int
equivalent to int32. As a result, the supported range of integer
values is greatly reduced on 32-bit architectures compared to what is
suggested by the documentation.

This patch explicitly uses int64 wherever 64-bit integers are
assumed.

Test cases affected by the behaviour of the random generator are
updated to reflect the new values (the existing seed doesn't produce
the same behaviour since the way random values are generated has
changed).

Miller regression tests

There are a few files unit-tested with Go's testing package -- a few dozen cases total.

The vast majority of Miller tests, though -- thousands of cases -- are tested by running scripted invocations of mlr with various flags and inputs, comparing against expected output, and checking the exit code back to the shell.

How to run the regression tests, in brief

Note: while this README.md file is within the test/ subdirectory, all paths in this file are written from the perspective of the user being cd'ed into the repository base directory, i.e. this directory's parent directory.

  • mlr regtest --help

  • go test -- TODO -- also comment

Items for the duration of the Go port

  • mlr regtest -c ... runs the C version of Miller from the local checkout
