Subject: [HACKERS] src.original/./backend/lib/fstack.c
Another change I suggested. I bracket an unused function and add a
return to quiet the compiler. In addition I added an internal
consistency check.
Subject: [HACKERS] backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_erx.c
I sent these changes in with a bunch of others. Some were folded in but
others, like these, were not. I am not sure why so I am resending this
to the developers list by itself for discussion.
The readon why I suggest these changes is that the compiler can't tell
that minimum_count is initialized before it is used. The tests that I
add in here will cause an immediate error if it doesn't. As the comments
below suggest, if it is 100% guaranteed that the variable will always
be initialized then how this is so should be commented here. I don't
know how much strain the actual test puts on the performance but if it
isn't too much then maybe leave it in for absolute safety anyway.
There are also a few returns just to stop warnings.
for join-relations. Sizes already computed by
prune_rel_paths():compute_joinrel_size().
joinrels.c:
< if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ )
---
> if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ &&
> length (outer_rel->relids) > 1 )
- r_plans are useful when outer_rel is join-relation... It
decreases the size of search space...
start time equal to tuple->t_tmax.
Privent shrinking if there are tuples modifyed by running transactions
(it concerns system relations only, currently).
Subject: [PATCHES] pqcomprim.c patch
This is the patch by Robert Bruccoleri to fix the endian problem.
(Actually, it's the reverse of his patch. He must have gotten the
order wrong.)
/*
* RelationFlushRelation () below will flush relation information
* from the cache. We must call smgrclose to flush relation
* information from SMGR & FMGR, too. We assume that for temp
* relations smgrunlink is already called by heap_destroyr

smgrclose(reln->rd_rel->relsmgr, reln);
- it avoids memory leaks in SMGR & VFD.
RelationFlushRelation():
there is no more call FileInvalidate(RelationGetSystemPort(relation));
- invalid (FileInvalidate() expects File, not SMGR' fd)
- unuseful anyway.
mdunlink() and mdclose() (too !!!) now free MdfdVec for relation
and add it to free list, so it may be re-used for another relation
later.
2. Fix VFD-manager memory leak (found by Massimo ... and me):
mdunlink() has to call FileUnlink() to free allocation for fileName
and add the Vfd slot to the free list.

Subject: [PATCHES] DROP AGGREGATE gram.y typo...
Somehow I dropped a comma in the gram.y part (line 129) of my
patch for drop aggregate. Here's a correct patch for gram.y.
PS. I hope I got the right comma, manually applied :) (scrappy)
Subject: [PATCHES] AIX make patch resubmitted.
Misc patches for AIX from Darren:
1) New src/makefiles/Makefile.aix This patch should only be
applied if the following patch (4) is applied to backend/Makefile!
Still looking into having configure determine the last line to do
the shared link. The 325 code will work for 41, so I put that in
as the default. Included a commented out 41 line for completeness.
*and*
4) Patch the backend Makefile. I've reviewed this patch with respect to the
other ports that use MAKE_EXPORTS (svr4 and univel) as closely as I could
and I don't see where it will break them. If it does, please let me know
and I'll rework it somehow.
Subject: [PATCHES] Re: [PORTS] AIX 6.1 fixes...
Here are the patches for the two things that wouldn't make it thru the AIX
compiler. The geo_ops.c change is harmless I believe. The nbtcompare.c patch
fixes me, but I don't know about any other ports. Maybe wait on that one
until Vadim decides what to do about the unsigned vs signed chars varlena
issue.
all local buffers @ xact commit, so accordingly nextFreeLocalBuf
is first local buffer now.
It helps to avoid unnecessary local buffer allocations in LocalBufferAlloc()
latter ("memmory leaks" in 'order by').
2. ResetLocalBufferPool() lost allocated local buffers:
memset(LocalBufferDescriptors, 0, sizeof(BufferDesc) * NLocBuffer);
(local buffers leak @ xact aborts).
Bring optional new-storage date and time up to date and test.
This new storage format should fix the "Sparc gcc -O2 bug".
(Enable new code with USE_NEW_DATE and USE_NEW_TIME in dt.h)
