Subject: [PATCHES] AIX make patch resubmitted.
Misc patches for AIX from Darren:
1) New src/makefiles/Makefile.aix This patch should only be
applied if the following patch (4) is applied to backend/Makefile!
Still looking into having configure determine the last line to do
the shared link. The 325 code will work for 41, so I put that in
as the default. Included a commented out 41 line for completeness.
*and*
4) Patch the backend Makefile. I've reviewed this patch with respect to the
other ports that use MAKE_EXPORTS (svr4 and univel) as closely as I could
and I don't see where it will break them. If it does, please let me know
and I'll rework it somehow.
Subject: [PATCHES] Re: [PORTS] AIX 6.1 fixes...
Here are the patches for the two things that wouldn't make it thru the AIX
compiler. The geo_ops.c change is harmless I believe. The nbtcompare.c patch
fixes me, but I don't know about any other ports. Maybe wait on that one
until Vadim decides what to do about the unsigned vs signed chars varlena
issue.
all local buffers @ xact commit, so accordingly nextFreeLocalBuf
is first local buffer now.
It helps to avoid unnecessary local buffer allocations in LocalBufferAlloc()
latter ("memmory leaks" in 'order by').
2. ResetLocalBufferPool() lost allocated local buffers:
memset(LocalBufferDescriptors, 0, sizeof(BufferDesc) * NLocBuffer);
(local buffers leak @ xact aborts).
Here are the latest changes to the INSTALL instructions.
The main changes are:
- Step 5, on flex
- Steps 18 and 19, on regression tests
- Step 22 c) on starting postmaster on bootup on FreeBSD
- Added porting notes for SPARC/Linux at end.
If there is time, Thomas should review step 19.
Bring optional new-storage date and time up to date and test.
This new storage format should fix the "Sparc gcc -O2 bug".
(Enable new code with USE_NEW_DATE and USE_NEW_TIME in dt.h)
Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for INSTALL
The following patch makes a number of modifications to file INSTALL.
Among other things, it restores some platform specific notes I deleted.
It also no longer requires a separate compile for the regression tests.
Please note that this patch already incorporates the patch Hal Snyder
submitted on Monday. Do not apply Hal's patch.
Subject: [PORTS] minor fix for DGUX port
src/include/port/dgux.h needs the following three lines appended:
#ifndef BYTE_ORDER
#define BYTE_ORDER BIG_ENDIAN
#endif
I believe this to be correct for DG/UX on M88k processors. I don't have one of
the new Intel-based boxes to check on.
