Get rid of the need for manual maintenance of the initial contents of
pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files. This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.
This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely
entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps. To avoid creating a Perl build
dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these
scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs. But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.
this broke the build on spoonbill:
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=spoonbill&dt=2010-01-05%2015:05:08
manually executing the command shows that the perl process eats more than
250MB of RAM at closely afterwards fails with an out of memory due to
hitting the process limit on that box.
I don't think that is in any way sane :)
# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for sparc64-openbsd
I just tried this with ulimit -v 131072 and it worked. At 65536 and
32768 it emited an error about being unable to set the locale but
still seemed to run. At 32768 it couldn't load all its shared
libraries any more so it croaked, but with a different error message.
Can we get the output of ulimit -a on that machine?
$ ulimit -a
time(cpu-seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 524288
stack(kbytes) 4096
lockedmem(kbytes) 334589
memory(kbytes) 1000456
nofiles(descriptors) 128
processes 64
Is there by any chance some other, conflicting Catalog.pm on that machine?
as I said I can reproduce it manually withe the Catalog.pm from the
failing build as well.
I can succeed building it using the root account but that runs the box
more or less out of memory as it eats up to ~550MB RSS and 990MB of SIZE...
