Any objections?
I sent the original patch. I just sent it for HEAD because a) I could still deal with previous branches by editing Makefile.global by hand after configure, b) I reconfigured older branches seldom enough compared to HEAD that it didn't bother me nearly as much, and c) I figured it would be more readily accepted into HEAD than trying to get it back-ported. Also I was not sure about the acceptance of such things into back branches, since it may be interpreted that supporting a new compiler is a "new feature" and most projects don't like to add new features to old releases. > > regards, tom lane > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (no longer valid - where are you now, Martin?) -- from /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/mcd.c ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
