This post brings up a problem with our configuration system. Right now, we test for compiler flags and set HAS_TEST_AND_SET based on the CPU in each include/port/{os}.h file. However, this requires us to know about each CPU enabled on each OS, and requires us to add duplicate CPU-specific code for each platform. See below for FreeBSD: --- freebsd.h.orig Fri Sep 5 21:38:06 2003 +++ freebsd.h Fri Sep 5 21:41:38 2003 @@ -44,5 +44,14 @@ #if defined(__powerpc__) #define HAS_TEST_AND_SET typedef unsigned int slock_t; +#endif +#if defined(__ia64__) +#define HAS_TEST_AND_SET +typedef unsigned int slock_t; +#endif + +#if defined(__x64_64__) +#define HAS_TEST_AND_SET +typedef unsigned int slock_t; #endif For example, we will need the last two defines for all platforms that support Intel. I wonder if we should have the HAS_TEST_AND_SET defined in s_lock.h where the actual test-and-set is defined. This would eliminate redundancy, and fix the FreeBSD problem reported with Opteron/Itanium. I think we still need an slock_t typedef, but it is probably the same for all CPU's on that platform. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
