Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided.  In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

userids are the same.  Per today's pghackers discussion.

to the use of getpwuid when running in standalone mode.
this patch allocates some persistent storage (using
strdup) to store the username obtained with getpwuid
in src/backend/main/main.c.  this is necessary because
later on, getpwuid is called again (in ValidateBinary).

the man pages for getpwuid on SCO OpenServer, FreeBSD,
and Darwin all have words to this effect (this is from
the SCO OpenServer man page):

  Note
  ====
  All information is contained in a static area, so it must
  be copied if it is to be saved. Otherwise, it may be
  overwritten on subsequent calls to these routines.

in particular, on my platform, the storage used to hold
the pw_name from the first call is overwritten such that
it looks like an empty username.  this causes a problem
later on in SetSessionUserIdFromUserName.

i'd assume this isn't a problem on most platforms because
getpwuid is called with the same UID both times, and the
same thing ends up happening to that static storage each
time.  however, that's not guaranteed, and is _not_ what
happens on my platform (at least :).

a slightly less random order.

Context diff this time.

Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386.

Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety.

Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD.

Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int
and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now
cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/

Remove an unused variable.

Alfred Perlstein

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.

Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.

        Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :

        * beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
        * beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
        * expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
        * regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
        * dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)

        Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.

Cyril VELTER

working on the VERY latest version of BeOS.  I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!

Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.

Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.

BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed.  Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.

I await the replies with interest :)

user is now defined in terms of the user id, the user name is only computed
upon request (for display purposes). This is kind of the opposite of the
previous state, which would maintain the user name and compute the user id
for permission checks.

Besides perhaps saving a few cycles (integer vs string), this now creates a
single point of attack for changing the user id during a connection, for
purposes of "setuid" functions, etc.

        Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.

to main.c are only to add some extra includes to support some code
that's suddenly being used.

The #define ASSEMBLER is to prevent most of the code of sys/proc.h
from being included, as it ends up conflicting with some of the
postgresql definitions.  This may or may not work on other versions
of Digital Unix.


Get alpha working.  Yea.  Dwayne Bailey

structure, and move the init_address_fixup() code directly into
backend/main/main.c with appropriate #ifdefs around it...

Makefile.global.

End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port".  Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself.  Still
work to be done though :)

tree "non-PORTNAME" dependent.  Technically, anything that is PORTNAME
dependent should be able to be derived at compile time, through configure
or through gcc

Another PGINDENT run that changes variable indenting and case label indenting.  Also static variable indenting.

Subject: [PATCHES] Patches for compiling 6.1 on Digital Unix 3.2c

Attached to this message are the patches I needed to compile 6.1 cleanly
under Digital Unix 3.2c with DEC cc.

I hope these are the last ones. At least, the number of files needing a
patch has decreased noticeably since I sent my previous patches. Nice work
:-)

One of the patches is a bug fix, but I'm including it here anyway.

With these patches applied, the beast seems to work properly. However,
I've done only some preliminary tests. More on this later (but hopefully
before the April 30 deadline... :-)

Subject: [HACKERS] Money integration patches

Here are patches to integrate the money data type. I have included
some math and aggregate functions and have made the locale support optional
by #ifdef USE_LOCALE bracketing of functions.

Modules affected are:
builtins.h.patch
cash.c.patch
cash.h.patch
main.c.patch
pg_aggregate.h.patch
pg_operator.h.patch
pg_proc.h.patch
pg_type.h.patch

I changed the data type to be pass-by-reference rather than by-value
to pave the way for a larger internal representation (64-bit ints?).
Also, I changed the tabbing of cash.c and cash.h to match most of
the other Postgres source code files (4 space indent, 8 spaces == 1 tab).

The locale stuff should be tested under another convention (Russian?)
but I don't know what the correct results should be so perhaps someone
else can give them a try. Will update docs and regression tests in
the next few days.
