I built postgresql 6.5.2 for SGI IRIX 6.x systems, and ran into a few
problems. I've have diffs if anyone needs them, but they all boil down
to files in src/interfaces/odbc that use C++ comments in C code. I
built --without-CXX because libpq++ requires "<string>", and so can only
be built with g++.
Some potentially serious warnings from the compiler:
"gist.c", line 716: warning(1551): variable "tmpentry" is used before
its
value is set
(OffsetNumber) 0, tmpentry.bytes, FALSE);
^
"ipc.c", line 264: warning(1551): variable "semun" is used before its
value is
set
semctl(semId, 0, IPC_RMID, semun);
^
"ipc.c", line 428: warning(1551): variable "semun" is used before its
value is
set
semctl(semId, 0, IPC_RMID, semun);
^
"ipc.c", line 526: warning(1551): variable "dummy" is used before its
value is
set
semncnt = semctl(semId, sem, GETNCNT, dummy);
^
"ipc.c", line 536: warning(1551): variable "dummy" is used before its
value is
set
semval = semctl(semId, sem, GETVAL, dummy);
^
"info.c", line 2142: warning(1551): variable "htbl_stmt" is used before
its
value is set
SQLFreeStmt(htbl_stmt, SQL_DROP);
^
There were some "pointless comparison of unsigned integer with zero"
messages too. The linker also whined because fmgr_pl_finfo is multiply
defined, as are CacheCxt and various yacc symbols.
I also had some regression failures:
- int2, int4: error message was "Result too large" instead of
"Numerical result out of range"
- geometry: "0" appears where "-0" was expected, rounding differences.
- abstime, tinterval, horology: timezone problems (PST vs. PDT)
- oidjoins, type_sanity: lots of differences cause by
"ERROR: typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0" messages.
- opr_sanity: "ERROR: Unable to locate type oid 0 in catalog" diffs.
- random: "ERROR: typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0" followed
by "ERROR: random_tbl: Table does not exist." diffs.
- misc: random_tbl missing from user_relns
- rules: the final two queries returned empty results.
Are these particular tests supposed to succeed?
Thanks,
David
