to main.c are only to add some extra includes to support some code
that's suddenly being used.
The #define ASSEMBLER is to prevent most of the code of sys/proc.h
from being included, as it ends up conflicting with some of the
postgresql definitions. This may or may not work on other versions
of Digital Unix.
Get alpha working. Yea. Dwayne Bailey
Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
tree "non-PORTNAME" dependent. Technically, anything that is PORTNAME
dependent should be able to be derived at compile time, through configure
or through gcc
Subject: [PATCHES] Patches for compiling 6.1 on Digital Unix 3.2c
Attached to this message are the patches I needed to compile 6.1 cleanly
under Digital Unix 3.2c with DEC cc.
I hope these are the last ones. At least, the number of files needing a
patch has decreased noticeably since I sent my previous patches. Nice work
:-)
One of the patches is a bug fix, but I'm including it here anyway.
With these patches applied, the beast seems to work properly. However,
I've done only some preliminary tests. More on this later (but hopefully
before the April 30 deadline... :-)
Subject: [HACKERS] Money integration patches
Here are patches to integrate the money data type. I have included
some math and aggregate functions and have made the locale support optional
by #ifdef USE_LOCALE bracketing of functions.
Modules affected are:
builtins.h.patch
cash.c.patch
cash.h.patch
main.c.patch
pg_aggregate.h.patch
pg_operator.h.patch
pg_proc.h.patch
pg_type.h.patch
I changed the data type to be pass-by-reference rather than by-value
to pave the way for a larger internal representation (64-bit ints?).
Also, I changed the tabbing of cash.c and cash.h to match most of
the other Postgres source code files (4 space indent, 8 spaces == 1 tab).
The locale stuff should be tested under another convention (Russian?)
but I don't know what the correct results should be so perhaps someone
else can give them a try. Will update docs and regression tests in
the next few days.
Subject: [HACKERS] locale patches !
Hi there,
here are little patches to get Postgres 6.1 works with locale stuff.
This is a patch against 970402.tar.gz, there are no problem to apply them
by hand to 6.0 release. Collate stuff tested about 1-2 months in real
working database but I'm sure there must be no problem. US hackers
could vote against locale implementation ( locale for sure will affect to
speed of postgres ), so I introduce variable USE_LOCALE which
controls locale stuff. Non-US users now could use ~* operator
for searching and <order by> for strings with nation alphabet.
Please, don't forget, as I did first time, to set environment variable
LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE because backend get locale information from them.
I start postmaster from a little script, assuming that shell is Bash shell
it looks like:
#!/bin/sh
export LC_CTYPE=koi8-r
export LC_COLLATE=koi8-r
postmaster -B 1024 -S -D/usr/local/pgsql/data/ -o '-Fe'
