Fix incorrect false positive rate formatting in create_and_test_bloom()
Hi,
I noticed a bug in src/test/modules/test_bloomfilter/test_bloomfilter.c
where the false positive rate is displayed incorrectly in
create_and_test_bloom().
The issue is in the ereport() call:
errmsg_internal("seed: " UINT64_FORMAT " false positives: "
INT64_FORMAT " (%.6f%%) bitset %.2f%% set",
seed, nfalsepos, (double) nfalsepos / nelements,
100.0 * bloom_prop_bits_set(filter))
The format specifier %.6f%% expects a value already scaled to a percentage,
but (double) nfalsepos / nelements produces a raw fraction. This means a
true false positive rate of 0.5% is displayed as 0.005000% — 100x smaller
than the actual value.
This is inconsistent with the very next argument, bloom_prop_bits_set(),
which is correctly multiplied by 100.0 before being passed to its %.2f%%
format specifier.
The fix is straightforward — multiply the ratio by 100.0:
- seed, nfalsepos, (double) nfalsepos / nelements,
+ seed, nfalsepos, 100.0 * (double) nfalsepos / nelements,
Patch is attached.
Thanks & Regards,
