Bruce,
Thanks for the comments/questions. A couple of points in response:
1. About the #if defined (_HP_aCC) || defined (_HP_cc)
We agree. That line can go.
2. About the TMPFILE definition change from .c to .h: Unfortunately, the -V option does not work the same way across HP compilers (it works as expected with HP aCC, but not with HP cc).
We have a couple of alternatives here.
We have a couple of alternatives here.
a. Using `uname` (to look for HP-UX) and checking to see if $CPP is set to /usr/bin/cc or /opt/aCC/bin/aCC. Not good.
b. Doing nothing. The TMPFILE mod is a trivial change to make with each new version of PostgreSQL that we build for HP-UX. (We had in fact suggested this in our original request email). So if you make no changes to the TMPFILE code, that will be fine too.
thanks

With reference to Tom Lane's response to our previous patch request (at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2003-10/msg00149.php)
this is a modified and more focussed patch request for PostgreSQL for
for HP-UX 11i V2 for the Intel Itanium architecture (known to the
PostgreSQL code as IA-64).

OK, I will remove this check.
Peter also mentioned:

I'm afraid this will not fly, because calling the preprocessor is only
portable on .c files. Generally, it's also unwise to rely in this kind
of subtle side effect. We need a general solution.

Can you give us a way to test for your preprocessor? Is there some
unique output like --version or -V that we can test and use *.h only
in that case?
