zic.exe fails to compile with an internal fatal error from the CompilerDriver.
I wound up having to change this function (zic.c:1811)
static void
convert(const int32 val, char *const buf)
{
int i;
int shift;
unsigned char *const b = (unsigned char *) buf;
for (i = 0, shift = 24; i < 4; ++i, shift -= 8)
b[i] = val >> shift;
}
to look like this:
static void
convert(const int32 val, char *const buf)
{
unsigned char *const b = (unsigned char *) buf;
b[0] = val >> 24;
b[1] = val >> 16;
b[2] = val >> 8;
b[3] = val >> 0;
}
I tried moving the next function (convert64) up above that function to see if it was just griping about the "first" instance of the val >> shift, but strangely it had no issue compiling convert64 and still failing on convert. Several devs here were surprised it would compile essentially the same exact code for one function, but not the other. Whether this was truly a bug, or perhaps a problem with the system I tried it on I leave to your investigation. Since there is no real difference in functionality, I proceeded with the change and my compile.

However, zic.c is not really our code: we get it from the IANA timezone group, and are loath to make private changes except when really necessary. If you want to pursue this, please report the problem to those guys: https://www.iana.org/time-zones I imagine the tz@iana.org mailing list is the right place to discuss it. regards, tom lane
