[HACKERS] CVS problems
Hi. Yesterday I downloaded source code from CVS following developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/cvs.html First of all it had problems downloading files, INSTALL text file has not been downloaded, for example. Today that web page isn't even available... That's probably causing the problems I'm getting during make make check I won't annoy with those problems until I'm sure I downloaded correctly souces from CVS. In case it's just a problem of mine can you please suggest some alternatives? Regards, Manolo.
[HACKERS] Debugging PostgreSQL with GDB
Hi. I have problems on how to debug PostgreSQL on Linux using GDB. I made some changes to src/backend/utils/sort/tuplesort.c but it hangs while performing run formation (where my changes are). I configured it using ./configure --prefix="/usr/local/pgsql/8.3/" CFLAGS="-O0 -DTRACE_SORT" --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-depend and trying to debug it using 'gdb postmaster' (which revealed to be not a very good idea) and 'gdb pg_ctl' followed by 'run -D /usr/local/psql/data' This last choice allowed me to set a breackpoint on puttuple_common (contained into tuplesort.c) but then I'm unable to run 'psql'. http://pastebin.com/m6a97b4dd I'm new on GDB and it's also my first postgrest patch. I just want some suggestion to know if I'm on the right way or not. Thanks for your time. PS: I suppose I'll write some related "HowTo Debug PostgreSQL with GDB - Basics" for newbies like me.
