Thread: port/getrusage.c?
Does anybody know why getrusage() in backend/port/getrusage.c is removed (surrounded by #if 0)? Some ports including Solaris 2.4, NEWS OS 6 (I'm trying now) etc. need getrusage(). -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp

I have the same question - have been wrestling with the SCO (ODT 5) port. Actually all we need here is client-side pgsql code to run on SCO so I butchered my way thru the build to make it happen. Used gcc-2.8.1 to get past the monster macro - altho if there's C code we can put in for easily confused compilers it would be nice to have a port buildable with SCO native tools. Bruce? Additions to wishlist - client-only builds, fix setup so Pg.pm builds on first install. Will be happy to work with the experts on SCO port + these small items - my hat is off to the 6.3 team.

Bruce? OK, please tell me what macro is a monster, and what define I can check to see if I am using the SCO/Microsoft/piece-O-junk :-) compiler, and I will take a crack at making a static function out of the macro and send you a patch to test. -- Bruce Momjian | 830 Blythe Avenue maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 + If your life is a hard drive, | (610) 353-9879(w) + Christ can be your backup. | (610) 853-3000(h)

Pure GNU 2.8.1 was all I could get to handle it. BTW just so you won't think we're total idiots - we run the pgsql server on FreeBSD where it belongs - but some of our hosts use hardware for which vendors refuse to allow FreeBSD support. Thus we have SCO systems (plus hardware to reboot them when they wedge).

I don't believe that this is a "religious war" issue...but why do
ppl even *use* the stock C compilers anymore? I know at work we us all
GCC/G++ stuff, since its one helluva lot cheaper then picking up Sun's CC
compiler...I'm not advocating requiring GCC...just wondering one ppl
actually do use the stock compiler..

There is reference to "sco" on line 85 of src/include/utils/memutils.h - "#if ! defined(sco)" but I think nothing sets this any more. (Actually this is another thing on the list of SCO breakage in 6.3). I'd add something to the template for sco.

Corporate engineering management scared of stuff that only builds with GNU tools and not "commercial quality" native compiler. Feh. 2. OS's so whacked-out that GNU tools don't build without major pain and suffering. Look at what it took to build pre-2.8 gcc on SCO. Where I work we have two kinds of programmer using the same SCO development system - the GNU'ers who spend as much time as possible on FreeBSD and only use the SCO box when held at gunpoint, and the SCO users who would just get all confused by enhanced warnings emitted by gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic (prototype checking, printf arg checks, etc) and just sit catatonic in their cubes for weeks if their moldy old /bin/cc tools don't work on a module they pull out of CVS. Aargh.
