I just saw that my buildfarm member (running ICC 9.0 on linux) failed after the latest change to configure
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=mongoose&dt=2007-09-11%2020:45:01 I was the one who sent in the first patch to configure to add the check for ICC, and as I recall at the time, the docs said -fno-strict-aliasing was the default (which is why I said "not sure if this is needed" in the comment). I don't know what -fno-alias does, but I think it means that the program does not do aliasing at all. The docs say "You must specify -fno-alias if you do not want aliasing to be assumed in the program" The true option for -fno-strict-aliasing is -ansi-alias- "disable use of ANSI aliasing rules in optimizations". But this is the default... -- Help me, I'm a prisoner in a Fortune cookie file! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
