Description: PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this
platform
Details:
Platform is 64 bit Solaris x86.
unknown:/export/home/weekleyj/postgresql-8.1.4:>psrinfo -vp
The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)
x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 28 step 0 clock 2000 MHz)
Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
Relevant build output:

does not have native spinlock support on this platform. To continue the
compilation, rerun configure using --disable-spinlocks. However,
performance will be poor. Please report this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.

It looks like s_lock.h currently has coverage for amd64 using gcc, or
sparc64 using either compiler, but not for amd64 using Sun's cc.
Please feel free to send a patch, or you could pester Sun to send us
one (Josh?)

SunStudio is supported on the HEAD (8.2). Spin lock problem is know
issue in version 8.1.4. I don't know if latest 8.1 branch contains
backport.

No, we did not backport because of concern that not enough people reviewed the changes. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Many thanks! John P.S. May I ask when we can expect 8.2? Or is is possible to beat on an alpha/beta?
