Thread: Re: Open Items (was: RE: [HACKERS] Beta going well)

New patch for open item: AIX compile (Peter E, Zeugswetter)
(applies to today's snapshot)

I now have a working autoconf, and was thus able to confirm, that
Peter's SIZEOF_INT8 check works correctly on AIX.

Please apply this patch before beta3, and please someone check BEOS
which is also affected.

Thank you Peter
Andreas

This coding appears to assume "if the platform defines int8, then
it will define int64 as well".  Seems mighty fragile to me.

I'm confused a bit:  In the previous message you added a check for uint64,
in this version you removed the u?int64 checks completely.  I suppose it
doesn't matter, but is there a reason?

The only problem I have now is that odbc/md5.h needs those unsigned
defines and it can't probe the results of queries by configure.  odbc
allows for stand-alone compile.

    #if SIZEOF_UINT8 == 0

Right now it is testing for __BEOS__, which I believe is something set
by the compiler and not by configure.

My idea is to just unconditionally define the unsigned's in odbc.  It
will fail on a few platforms but I don't see another solution.

ODBC uses all kinds of other configure results, so it can use this one as
well.  You only need to make sure you hard-code the test result for
Windows somewhere.
