Обсуждение: BUG #3699: Fails to compile DTrace Support
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3699 Logged by: Lee Packham Email address: lpackham@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.2.5 Operating system: OSX Leopard Description: Fails to compile DTrace Support Details: I have built a patch to enable a working DTrace on OSX with Postgres 8.2.5. Basically the problem is that the dtrace command on OSX doesn't have the -G parameter - so you have to use the newer -h method to produce a header file. I have put the patch on my blog. http://leenux.org.uk/dtrace-patches/dtrace-with-postgres-on-osx Hope this is of use to you guys. Cheers, Lee Packham

You can't seriously expect us to accept a patch that rips out Solaris
dtrace support to put in OSX dtrace support :-(. Can't you fix it so
that it still uses the PG_TRACEn macros?
BTW, where did you get dtrace for OSX, anyway? I don't see it on my
machines here...

We chose the current approach for simplicity and atthe same time allowing us to easily introduce a generic framework so other OSes can plug in a similar tool if needed. Ihave yet to review your patch in detail, but I hope it doesn't break this generic framework. More later... -Robert
The only thing I couldn't do was sort out the makefile to auto generate the header file. So the patch has a pre-built header file. I don't know Make well, enough. Sorry. But yeah - I was pretty annoyed they broke the -G parameter (i.e. didn't include it at all. Cheers, Lee.

Hmph ... that might be enough of a reason to upgrade right there ...
