Consistency Test

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The test suite reinitializes the IFilter with the same parameters as before and performs a consistency test. If the IFilter implementation has been initialized with the IFILTER_INIT_INDEXING_ONLY flag, the test releases the IFilter object and re-binds it before making another call to IFilter::Init(). This test checks to make sure that the STAT_CHUNK structures returned are identical to those returned earlier in the validation test. The consistency test verifies the following:

• Each STAT_CHUNK returned by GetChunk() is exactly identical to the corresponding STAT_CHUNK returned in the validation test.
• GetChunk() returns S_OK or an accepted value (FILTER_E_END_OF_CHUNKS, FILTER_E_LINK_UNAVAILABLE, etc.)
