I already indicated that we really need to see your test code:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/9434/focus=9457

But apparently your "test harness contains too much proprietray code":

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/9434/focus=9466

So you're asking volunteers to spend their time trying to recreate code
that you already have but are unwilling to disclose so that they can
answer your questions.

Realistically that's not going to happen.  Sorry to disappoint.

Cheers,
    Olly

Olly Betts, Thank you for your reply. Our software director says that there are
about 10 C++ source files & header files in test harness.
             Would you prefer a Windows Microsoft Visual Studio C++ test harness
or a Read Hat LINUX C++ test harness with a GNUmakefile? Would a zip file or
*.tar.gz be okay with you. Good evening.
