Tom,
You ain't arf clever.
Running Gen_fmgrtab.sh with a "set -x" shows:-
const FmgrBuiltin fmgr_builtins[] = {
+ awk { printf (" { %d, \"%s\", %d, %s, %s, %s },\n"), \ $1, $(NF-1), $9, \ ($8 == "t") ? "true" :
"false",\ ($4 == "11") ? "true" : "false", \ $(NF-1) } fmgr.raw
awk: syntax error near line 3
awk: illegal statement near line 3
+ cat /* dummy entry is easier than getting rid of comma after last real one */ { 0, NULL, 0, false, false,
(PGFunction)NULL }
};
/* Note fmgr_nbuiltins excludes the dummy entry */
const int fmgr_nbuiltins = (sizeof(fmgr_builtins) / sizeof(FmgrBuiltin)) - 1;
Looks like the problem is that, Solaris's awk is "old" awk.
If I change the awk to nawk I get valid output.
I'm just about to start the clean build process with this change.
Once it's started I'm off to bed. Will check in the morning.
Thanks for your trouble, we just need a "portable" fix now.
Thanks,
Keith.
