Thread: Has anyone seen this SPARC bug? [Fwd: Bug#165060: postgresql: int8 value out of range on sparc]

This is a Debian bug report from a SPARC user.  It doesn't happen for me
on i386 7.2.3.

Can anyone reproduce it or suggest a reason for it?

Subject: Bug#165060: postgresql: int8 value out of range on sparc
Date: 16 Oct 2002 09:46:46 -0700

Package: postgresql
Version: 7.2.3-0.1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Only excepts 32bit values and not 64bit. Endian issue?

This is on sparc.

com.pany=# create table foo (val bigint);
CREATE
com.pany=# insert into foo values (1034784236789);
ERROR:  Floating point conversion to int8 is out of range
com.pany=# insert into foo values (103478423678);

ERROR:  Floating point conversion to int8 is out of range
com.pany=# insert into foo values (1034784236);
INSERT 16872 1

I also got this on a restore with inserts from a remote machine.

I can't reproduce this on Aurora SPARC Linux with the RPM install.

System is a SPARCification of Red Hat 7.3 -- gcc 2.96, glibc 2.2.5, kernel
2.4.18-1.000sparc, Aurora build 0.42.

I'm betting that rint() is broken on this platform.  It would be useful
to trace through the execution of dtoi8() (in src/backend/utils/adt/int8.c)
to see exactly why it's spitting up.

This is fixed by building the Debian package without the --with-openssl
flag passed into configure. I don't have time to look into it at the
moment but doing a `./configure --with-openssl` has the side effect of
no native 64bit type being found.
