Thread: fails to compile with undefined symbol (FP_PLUS_INF)
when compiling psql 8.1.3 using gcc 3.4.5 on AIX 4.2.1 on powerpc32 I get the following error: gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -I../../src/port -DFRONTEND -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -c isinf.c -o isinf.o isinf.c: In function `isinf': isinf.c:69: error: `FP_PLUS_INF' undeclared (first use in this function) isinf.c:69: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once isinf.c:69: error: for each function it appears in.) isinf.c:71: error: `FP_MINUS_INF' undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [isinf.o] Error 1 configure options where: ./configure --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --without-readline any ideas? patches? is this already known? thanks, Riccardo

These must be within #if's that prevent them from being seen ...
you'll need to figure out what exactly. On HPUX we use
CPPFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED"
to gain access to some symbols we need, and I'll bet something
similar is needed on AIX.

Something that may work would be to take the block of defines output by: grep -p FP_MINUS_INF /usr/include/* and add it to the math.h in the gcc directory. I don't have a 4.2 box here so I can't test this, but the math.h in my gcc directory does contain the defines. That math.h should be similar to the math.h in /usr/include. -- Seneca Cunningham scunning@ca.afilias.info

Ah-hah. This probably indicates that the gcc you are using was
originally generated on a different version of AIX. It's always bad
news when gcc's copies of the headers don't match the real ones :-(
These copies are generated during gcc build by a script called
"fixincludes". You might be able to fix them up by just re-running
fixincludes. My inclination would be to rebuild gcc altogether though.

My gcc build is like that and I was the one who built it to replace another build of gcc. gcc doesn't seem to like float.h on AIX and just uses its own as part of fixincludes; math.h comes out in a more intact state. This means that on AIX versions where math.h also contains FP_PLUS_INF (and the rest of that block of defines), the defines do occur. It would appear that 4.2 doesn't also contain the necessary defines as part of math.h (protected by an #ifndef on 5.3). -- Seneca Cunningham scunning@ca.afilias.info

yes, that seems to be it: float.h gets replaced and I don't have the defines in math.h too thus you have more redundancy. I might just hack the gcc include at this point.
fixinclude b0rked it.

My gcc build is like that and I was the one who built it to replace
another build of gcc. gcc doesn't seem to like float.h on AIX and just
uses its own as part of fixincludes; math.h comes out in a more intact
state. This means that on AIX versions where math.h also contains
FP_PLUS_INF (and the rest of that block of defines), the defines do
occur. It would appear that 4.2 doesn't also contain the necessary

I'd call that a gcc bug...

It would appear that gcc blindly replaces limits.h, float.h, iso646.h, stdarg.h, stdbool.h, stddef.h, varargs.h, and unwind.h. Of these, limits.h is the only one that then includes the native header. They aren't modified by fixincludes. fixincludes takes a hack at the other headers that end up in gcc's include directory. -- Seneca Cunningham scunning@ca.afilias.info

I failed a bug report to gcc (26768) and it got closed saying that it is float.h is fine to be replaced since those constants FP_* are non standard, please have a look yourself. Cheers, Riccardo

I took a look at some docs[1], and it seems like the gcc people are correct in that the standard does not define any constants FP_FOO in float.h. They say that definitions starting with FP_ are to be in math.h. [1] http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/basedefs/math.h.html -- Seneca Cunningham scunning@ca.afilias.info
