Thread: Meson doesn't define HAVE_LOCALE_T for mscv

Meson doesn't define HAVE_LOCALE_T for mscv

From

Hello all,

Meson doesn't see the redefinition of locale_t done in src/include/port/win32_port.h, so is not defining HAVE_LOCALE_T, HAVE_WCSTOMBS_L nor HAVE_MBSTOWCS_L as the current src/tools/msvc/build.pl script does.

Please find attached a patch for so.

Regards,

Hm. Is it right that the changes are only done for msvc? win32_port.h defines
the types for mingw as well afaict.

Yes, it does, but configure does nothing with them, so adding those defines is a new feature for MinGW but a correction for MSVC.

PFA a patch for MinGW.

I've seen that when building with meson on MinGW the output for version() is 'PostgreSQL 16devel on x86_64, compiled by gcc-12.2.0', which is not wrong but I cannot tell that it was done on MinGW. Should we include the 'host_system' in PG_VERSION_STR?

I don't think we should print mingw - that's really just redundant with
gcc. But including host_system seems like a good idea. Not sure why I didn't
do that.

Hi,

Hm, the quoting was odd, making me think you had written a separate email
about the define issue. Hence the separate email...

Any chance you checked if autoconf already detects locale_t with mingw?
Possible that mingw supplies one of the relevant headers...

Otherwise it looks like a sensible improvement to me.

I'll open a new thread for this. Also, I think this is skipping collate.linux.utf.sql and infinite_recurse.sql tests in their intended platforms.

I've checked the autoconf version of pg_config.h and it's not detected. Also, manually inspecting <locale.h> I see no definition of locale_t in MinGW.
