problems with some bits of it, but when all the patches are in it'll build
and we can fix it from there :) I've got a version that builds and runs and
that is the basis for these patches.
The first file has the new additional files that are required,
template/beos
backend/port/dynloader/beos.c
backend/port/dynloader/beos.h
include/port/beos.h
makefiles/Makefile.beos
The second is a tarball of diffs against a few files. I've added sys/ipc.h
to configure and config.h via configure.in and config.h.in and then started
adding the check as this file isn't needed on BeOS and having loads of
#ifdef BEOS isn't as obvious as #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H and isn't as
autconf'ish :)
Files touched are
include/c.h
configure.in
include/config.h.in
include/storage/ipc.h
include/utils/int8.h
Let me know how these go. I'll await a response before submitting any more.
Any problems just get in touch.

and the fmgr redesign.
It makes the homebrewn dl*() functions for more recent Versions of AIX
obsolete
by using the system dl*() functions instead.
It also fixes the expected file for the horology regression test.
Please regenerate configure from configure.in, I don't have the
environment/time.

Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension. This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.
as MaxHeapAttributeNumber. Increase MaxAttrSize to something more
reasonable (given what it's used for, namely checking char(n) declarations,
I didn't make it the full 1G that it could theoretically be --- 10Mb
seemed a more reasonable number). Improve calculation of MaxTupleSize.
that RAND_MAX applies to them, since it doesn't. Instead add a
config.h parameter MAX_RANDOM_VALUE. This is currently set at 2^31-1
but could be auto-configured if that ever proves necessary. Also fix
some outright bugs like calling srand() where srandom() is appropriate.
* the result is not recorded anywhere
* the result is not used anywhere
* the result is only used in some places, whereas others have been getting away with it
* the result is used improperly
Also make command line options handling a little better (e.g., --disable-locale,
while redundant, should really still *dis*able).
in-chunk leaks, overwrite-next-chunk leaks and overwrite block-freeptr leaks.
A in-chunk leak --- if something overwrite space after wanted (via palloc()
size, but it is still inside chunk. For example
x = palloc(12); /* create 16b chunk */
memset(x, '#', 13);
this leak is in the current source total invisible, because chunk is 16b and
leak is in the "align space".
For this feature I add data_size to StandardChunk, and all memory which go
from AllocSetAlloc() is marked as 0x7F.
The MemoryContextCheck() is compiled '#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING'.
I add this checking to 'tcop/postgres.c' and is active after each backend
query, but it is probably not sufficient, because some MemoryContext exist
only during memory processing --- will good if someone who known where
it is needful (Tom:-) add it for others contexts;
A problem in the current source is that we have still some malloc()
allocation that is not needful and this allocation is total invisible for
all context routines. For example Dllist in backend (pretty dirty it is in
catcache where values in Dllist are palloc-ed, but list is malloc-ed).
--- and BTW. this Dllist design stand in the way for query cache :-)
Tom, if you agree I start replace some mallocs.
BTW. --- Tom, have you idea for across transaction presistent allocation for
SQL functions? (like regex - now it is via malloc)
I almost forget. I add one if() to AllocSetAlloc(), for 'size' that are
greater than ALLOC_BIGCHUNK_LIMIT is not needful check AllocSetFreeIndex(),
because 'fidx' is always 'ALLOCSET_NUM_FREELISTS - 1'. It a little brisk up
allocation for very large chunks. Right?

* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
useful is left as an exercise.
* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
all the other libraries are checked for.
* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.
* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
anymore.
* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.
* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.
* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
separately.
* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.
* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
don't add it on in Makefile.global.
* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.
... and in completely unrelated news:
* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
save the environment as well.
and config.h. Adjusted all referring code.
Scrapped pg_version and changed initdb accordingly. Integrated
src/utils/version.c into src/backend/utils/init/miscinit.c. Changed all
callers.
Set version number to `7.1devel'. (Non-numeric version suffixes now allowed.)
documentation. Let's try to keep this file a bit neater in future,
hmm? Also (to get back to the original point) update info about
FUNC_MAX_ARGS, and add additional config symbols for debugging
new memory management changes.
Interfaced a lot of the custom tests to the config.cache, in the process
made them separate macros and grouped them out into files. Made naming
adjustments.
Removed a couple of useless/unused configure tests.
Disabled C++ by default. C++ is no more special than Perl, Python, and Tcl.
And it breaks equally often. :(
postgres build and use unixODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org)
This patch was applied against the postgresql-7.0beta1 build
Any problems let me know.

That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.
pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).
Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.
changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
extern int inet_aton(const char *cp, struct in_addr * addr);
appearing before the optional #define for const, which was certain
to fail on a machine with neither const nor inet_aton().
have the rl_completion_append_character variable. The tab completion
behavior doesn't seem to be quite perfect in that situation, but it's
better than failing to build at all...
- Prevent permissions on indexes
- Instituted --enable-multibyte option and tweaked the MB build process where necessary
- initdb prompts for superuser password
eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the
system. I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in. If anyone is really
convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the
value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.
