Bug reference: 4397
Logged by: Rudolf Leitgeb
Email address: r.leitgeb@x-pin.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3
Operating system: OSX Leopard
Description: crash in tab-complete.c
Details:
When I compiled postgresql for different targets (i386, x86_64, ppc, ppc64)
on my Mac, tab-complete.c gave me a number of warnings, that integers are
converted to pointers. Sure enouugh, psql bombs as soon as I hit the TAB key
...
How to reproduce:
- Compile psql for x86_64. This can be easily done with the following
commands:
CFLAGS="-Os -arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./configure
--disable-depend --with-pam --with-openssl
--prefix=/Users/rleitgeb/pq_x86_64
make
make install
- Then connect to a database with psql and hit tab. gdb will output the
following:
postgres=#
