Обсуждение: AIX 4.2.1 regression test
Hi, AIX 4.2.1 regression tests are ok :-) int2 .. failed other errmsg (ok) int4 .. failed other errmsg (ok) float8 .. failed has correct output / expected is wrong (ok) geometry .. failed rounding diffs (ok) abstime .. failed PDT instead of PST in some rows, 1h difference (ok) tinterval .. failed --"-- horology .. failed --"-- inet .. failed expected/inet.out is incorrect (ok, but please remake) rules .. failed other sort order in select * from rtest_admin (guess ok) It would need only the following modifikations to current CVS: remove file src/makefiles/Makefile.aix4no harm because it is not used (it does not work 100% because it won't resolve variablesfrompostgres main executable, therefore the postgres.imp is still needed) .alternatively I could try to do a newone modify configure test for cpp stdincurrently does xlc -E and fails to notice, that it does not work hand made libplpgsql.sothe command was: ld -H512 -bM:SRE -bI:/usr/postgres/lib/postgres.imp -bexpall -o libplpgsql.so.1.0\ pl_comp.o pl_exec.o pl_funcs.o pl_handler.o pl_parse.o -lcthe -bexpall makes it easier, but is newsince AIX 4.2, so those with 3.2 or 4.1 still need to do the .exp stuff cheers :-) Andreas

Great. Will mark ya' down...

D'Arcy/Paul/inet gang: Could you look at this and see if the inet.out is
incorrect for your platforms too? I just took the results/inet.out,
inspected it for gross errors (without knowing what I'm looking for) and
put it in as the expected result. Don't know what might be wrong with
it.

I think HPUX sees this too; it depends on the implementation of qsort()
on your platform.

I'm not sure how easy it will be, or if we need to be frozen for this
release. Should be a patch if it doesn't make it into the main v6.4.
You've already made a suggestion on what to look for, right? I'm
recalling that you had some discussion on the list about that already.

Ah-hah, so HPUX is not the only platform where qsort chooses to output
those tuples in the other order. I feel better now ;-)
I will go ahead and modify the rules test to do an "order by" in
the select * from rtest_admin command, so that it generates
predictable results.

I think we have two choices here:
1. Try to improve configure's test for cpp-from-stdin some more, and add
to it the idea that it might have to fall back to calling /lib/cpp
directly if neither "$(CPP)" nor "$(CPP) -" work for reading from stdin.
2. Rewrite the shell scripts that are using this feature so that they
don't need cpp-from-stdin, but just use a temporary file and plain
$(CPP). Then we can forget about testing for it in configure.
A quick "glimpse" shows there are only two shell scripts using
$(CPPSTDIN), so I think choice #2 is the way to go. At this point in
the schedule, we need a high-probability-of-success fix, and tweaking an
autoconf test is never a high-probability affair until you've actually
run it on a lot of platforms. Hacking the scripts might be ugly,
but it will work.

I feel better now ;-) Don't feel too good. There is a reason AIX is pronounced "aches" :) > > modify configure test for cpp stdin > 2.

Those two scripts use temporary files for other stages of their processing, so it isn't a change from what they already do. I was tempted to do that a month ago when I first ran across the problem of the hardcoded cpp references. Are you going to try to do it now, or should we wait for v6.4.1? I would think that it has a high probability of success, with testing from just one or two people.

I was planning to fix it now, unless Marc threatens to break my thumbs.
Build failures are a sufficiently important problem that I think we
oughta fix them ... and while this has only been reported on AIX,
we don't know for sure that it won't happen anywhere else.
Besides, I think Marc is gonna be too busy breaking Bruce's thumbs
to worry about me ;-).

As discussed in irc, there seems to be a missing patch. I resent it
to Bruce directly and he applied it. Please rerun the queries and
replace the expected output.
