At this point I think it'd be possible to make float4 be pass-by-value
without too much work --- and float8 too on machines where Datum is
8 bytes. Something to try when the mood strikes, anyway.
we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
IRIX systems using the native compilers. A summary is:
- Various files use "//" as a comment delimiter in c files.
- Problems caused by assuming "char" is signed.
cash.in: building -signed the rules regression test fails as described
in FAQ_QNX4. If CHAR_MAX is "255U" then ((signed char)CHAR_MAX) is -1.
postmaster.c: random number regression test failed without this change.
- Some generic build issues and warning message cleanup.

lconv is already taken as a struct identifier defined in a /usr/include file.
Only has an effect with USE_LOCALE enabled.
(Apparently unique to AIX and/or AIX compiler? thomas)
Subject: [HACKERS] Inputting money
I notice that I have to put single quotes around money amounts if there
is a decimal point in the value. I appears to be happening because there
is something changing things like "123.45" to "123.450000" and the code
has a problem with that. There may be a better way to fix this but here
is a simple change to cash.c that lets it accept trailing zeroes.
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.
pg_proc.h still needs modifying, but this gets it in there so that we can
get around any compiler bugs. Will try and get the pg_proc.h entries done
up later tonight...
