another one in Solaris' port-protos.h.
The following patch will bring inet_aton's prototype into scope for
Ultrix to silence a compilation warning.
If the intention is to have inet_aton's prototype in its own header
filer, the declaration in Solaris' port-protos.h should be removed.
If the declaration in port-protos.h is deemed to be the correct
place, a declaration should be added in Ultrix' port-protos.h

included after storage/ipc.h like other similar cases that were changed
recently.
This one has popped up during the last few days.
My sources are sup'ed today, 13. jan 1996.

Erik Bertelsen.
At least the first two should be fixed before the final release of 6.0.
1) There is a mismatch between the type declared in the catalog for
the input/output attributes of pg_type and the actual type of
values stored in the table. The type of typinput, typoutput,
typsend and typreceive are declared oid (26) while the values are
regproc (24). The error was there also in previous versions but
nobody noticed it until an Assert has been added in ExecEvalVar.
The effect is that it is now impossible to replace the typoutput
of existing data types with new procs.
2) The identd hba fails after the first time because the data read
from the identd socket is not zero-terminated and strlen reports
an incorrect length if the stack contains garbage, which usually
happens after the first connection has been made.
3) The new initdb wants to create itself the data directory. This
implies that the parent directory must be writable by postgres and
this may not always be desirable. A better solution would be to
allow the directory to be created by root and then filled by initdb.
It would also nice to have some reasonable default for PGLIB and
PGDATA like the previous version did. This applies also to the
postmaster executable.
gmake of the code without interruption.
There's also some tidy-up of the MAXPATHLEN stuff based on the assumption that
all supported platforms have MAXPATHLEN defined in <sys/param.h>.
(The only unknowns for the above are AIX and IRIX5.)
And now - JMP_BUF again. Is it enough, folks ?
Fixed again:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
exc.c: In function 'ExcRaise':
exc.c:187: warning: passing arg 1 of 'Longjmp' from incompatible pointer type
gmake[3]: *** [exc.o] Error 1
%ud in a printf format strings instead of just %u.
There were three occurances of this in catalog_utils.c,
two in parser.c and one in rewriteSupport.c in the oid
patch that I submitted and was applied. They won't crash
anything, but the error messages will have a 'd' after the
Oid. Annoying, but none are db-threatening.
Sorry about that folks...I'll be more careful in the future...

As an example I sent a bug-report on 26 Nov to tell that the fix included
below is necessary to compile pg95-current on Ultrix with Digital's
standard C compiler c89. In fact I think that this fix is needed
for any C compiler sticking very close the standard, see my discussion
in the original bug report.

datum.c: In function `DatumGetSize':

gmake[3]: *** [datum.o] Error 1
There was:
if (byVal) {
if (len >= 0 && len <= sizeof(Datum)) {
but len has type Size (unsigned int) and so now there is:
if (byVal) {
if (len <= sizeof(Datum)) {

(old _bt_compare always returned >= 0 while comparing with P_HIKEY
on root page - it breaks root page when _bt_insertonpg tries insert
new minimal key into root page).
2. Fixed bug concerns "empty" pages: non-rightmost pages with only P_HIKEY
present on it. Such pages appear after vacuum.
as ints and longs. Touches on quite a few function args as
well. Most other files look ok as far as Oids go...still checking
though...
Since Oids are type'd as unsigned ints, they should prolly be used
with the %ud format string in elog and sprintf messages. Not sure
what kind of strangeness that could produce.

When an acl item is added or updated the new entry is deleted if it has no
permissions and the acl array is shrinked. This is is done by decrementing
the number of items without updating the corresponding array size.
The array with the incorrect size is later read by pg_aclcheck and the entry
count is used to allocate a new array while the array size is used to copy
the old one. This causes a memory corruption and a backend crash.
This happens only to normal user as the administrator bypasses acl checks.

* Wrote max(date) and min(date) aggregates
* Wrote operator "-" for date; date - date yields number of days
difference
* Wrote operator+(date,int) and operator-(date,int); the int is the
number of days. Each operator returns a new date.

In particular, no more compiled-in default for PGDATA or LIBDIR. Commands
that need them need either invocation options or environment variables.
PGPORT default is hardcoded as 5432, but overrideable with options or
environment variables.
Changes:
* Unique index capability works using the syntax 'create unique
index'.
* Duplicate OID's in the system tables are removed. I put
little scripts called 'duplicate_oids' and 'find_oid' in
include/catalog that help to find and remove duplicate OID's.
I also moved 'unused_oids' from backend/catalog to
include/catalog, since it has to be in the same directory
as the include files in order to work.
* The backend tries converting the name of a function or aggregate
to all lowercase if the original name given doesn't work (mostly
for compatibility with ODBC).
* You can 'SELECT NULL' to your heart's content.
* I put my _bt_updateitem fix in instead, which uses
_bt_insertonpg so that even if the new key is so big that
the page has to be split, everything still works.
* All literal references to system catalog OID's have been
replaced with references to define'd constants from the catalog
header files.
* I added a couple of node copy functions. I think this was a
preliminary attempt to get rules to work.
