I was using cc, exactly "SCO UNIX Development System Release 5.1.2A
27Jul00". Last week, I tried with "UX:i386cc: INFO: SCO UNIX
Development System Release 5.2.0A 07Oct05" but I had the same
results. I think I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.
I launched postgres in standalone mode and a core file is created. I
used gdb on it to see the backtrace :
(gdb) bt
#0 0x081bf5fd in booltestsel ()
#1 0x08141125 in clause_selectivity ()
#2 0x081409d2 in clauselist_selectivity ()
#3 0x0814295b in set_baserel_size_estimates ()
#4 0x0813ff42 in set_plain_rel_pathlist ()

#8 0x0814bfa0 in grouping_planner ()
#9 0x0814ba11 in subquery_planner ()
#10 0x0814b6c7 in planner ()
#11 0x08181e07 in pg_plan_query ()
#12 0x08181ea0 in pg_plan_queries ()
#13 0x081820ce in exec_simple_query ()
#14 0x081849dd in PostgresMain ()
#15 0x08161d92 in BackendRun ()
#16 0x081616c9 in BackendStartup ()
#17 0x0815fba8 in ServerLoop ()
#18 0x0815f67c in PostmasterMain ()
#19 0x08127d91 in main ()
#20 0x08074d1a in _start ()
So I tried to work on the booltestsel function
(src/backend/utils/adt/selfuncs.c file). I added some elog statements
to see where problems arise. When I put an elog statement in these
lines, my issue is gone :
/*
* Get first MCV frequency and derive frequency for true
*/
if (DatumGetBool(values[0])) freq_true = numbers[0];
else freq_true = 1.0 - numbers[0] - freq_null;
/*
* Next derive frequency for false. Then use these as appropriate
* to derive frequency for each case.
*/
freq_false = 1.0 - freq_true - freq_null;
So, I don't get it. I have absolutely no problems with gcc on linux,
but I have this issue on cc (5.1.2A and 5.2.0A releases).
Larry, if you have some more questions, please ask. I don't know whose
bug it is (c compiler or PostgreSQL... or, perhaps, me) but I want to
get rit of it.
Regards.
