Looks sane to me, except "isinf errors" is an awfully narrow reading of
the problem.  Maybe just say "assorted errors"?  Also, do we know that
gcc 4.5 poses the issue?  I'm only aware of reports for 4.6 and 4.7.



It looked to me like this switch landed in gcc 4.5 because they were 
getting problems like this. See

Yeah. Will do.

Usability seems to be very low on the gcc project's list of goals
these days.

Personally I think this sort of thing might be fine if it were triggered
by -ffast-math or something like that.  But as a default behavior it's
entirely ridiculous.

AFAICS it's really impractical to do that.  The code Andrew is having
problems with is essentially

double a,b,c;
...
a = b * c;
if (isinf(a)) throw error;

and the problem is that the multiplication result overflows in double
precision, but not in the wider-than-double register precision.
Therefore, if a is in a register and the isinf() primitive inspects the
register, it will return false, even though when the value gets stored
to memory it will become an infinity.

I don't see anything we can do to the code that avoids this issue.
You might think that explicitly casting b * c to double would help,
but our experiments in connection with the planner Assert case proved
it didn't.  The only other thing we could possibly do is move the
multiplication into a separate subroutine, but what's to stop the
compiler from inlining that and generating the same code anyway?

Basically, what's going on here is that the gcc boys have decided
that speed trumps both sanity and conformance to the letter of the C
standard, unless you turn on compiler switches that say "please act
sane".  So we'd better do that, unless you'd like to be dealing with
this type of issue for the rest of the project's lifespan.  It's much
the same type of problem as with -fno-strict-aliasing, except that
someday we might consider biting the bullet and dealing with that piece
of insanity-in-the-name-of-speed.  Floating-point performance is not
interesting enough for Postgres' purposes that I can imagine that we'd
ever want to deal with this kind of gotcha to improve FP speed.

Would it be better to change either the code or the test case to be

Hmm, we have been bit by that recently elsewhere:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=ff68b256a533b398e3420750f34d161aeee4e099

I suspect what you are looking at is not at all mingw-specific but will
soon start showing up on other x86 platforms.  I see from the bug report
that that's gcc 4.7.0, which hasn't made it into most distros yet but
surely will soon.

> So, would we want to use that just for this file, or for the whole build?

-ffloat-store is a brute force solution, I think, and would affect old
versions of gcc that don't exhibit any problems.  I would suggest
altering configure to see whether the compiler recognizes
-fexcess-precision=standard and adding that to CFLAGS if so.

Hi Andrew,

Did you see Kai's update on the ticket? If this is the case, I know 
that we have seen similar bugs with PostGIS and the work-around has 
been to add -ffloat-store to the compiler flags for the affected files 
if that helps?






Hmm. Yeah, if I remove -O0 and instead set CFLAGS to -ffloat-store the 
error goes away.


So, would we want to use that just for this file, or for the whole build?

FTR, the comment in the bug reads:

   AFAICS from report, the issue happens with value 1e200 (as invalid
   range).
   The issue I might see here (as it doesn't occure with x64 version, which
   uses sse instructions instead of x87) is that x87 registers
   internally have
   higher precision then 32-bit. So failures in range occure on conversion
   from FPU register down to memory store. For x64 SSE this is
   different, as
   here math operations are really just done in specified precission.
   Have you checked, if you get different result by using on 32-bit
   explicit
   SSE instructions?

   As things seems to work at -O0, but not at -On (with n > 0), it is
   pretty
   unlikely that runtime-functions itself are causing this issue. So
   therefore my guess goes here for internal/external precision of used
   FPU.


cheers

As previously discussed, unless you can prove it's not needed I don't

believe it is needed for at least some older compilers (specifically

As you can see above it's been disabled for all Mingw-w64 compilers.


If it's really bugging people we can try disabling it and see if any of 
those break, but honestly we have far uglier things that we carry for 
legacy reasons :-)

Hi,

> We'll need to construct a configure test for HAVE_CRTDEFS_H.

Isn't it enough to add the name in configure.in and run autoconf to 
update configure and autoheaders to update pg_config.h.in?
The check of win32 before large file perhaps should also go to configure.in, 
otherwise they would be wiped with next autoconf.

The patch recreated with removing the #undef
but adding the conditional to skip AC_SYS_LARGEFILE in configure.in and 
update configure by autoconf.

This is apparently an optimization bug in the compiler. If I turn 
optimization off (CFLAGS=-O0) it goes away. Ick.


So at the moment I'm a bit blocked. I can't really file a bug because 
the compiler can't currently be used to build postgres, I don't have 
time to construct a self-contained test case, and I don't want to commit 
changes to enable the compiler until the issue is solved.


FYI I've been testing with the attached patch. We'll need to construct a 
configure test for HAVE_CRTDEFS_H.

Re: [HACKERS] [PATCH] PostgreSQL fails to build with 32bit MinGW-w64

[NISHIYAMA Tomoaki]

Hi,

If we are not to use 64 bit file size (and time),
#undef stat may be sufficient. The #undef should be
before the prototype of pgwin32_safestat because the
#define stat _stat64 affect both the function and struct stat.
The #undef stat necessitate #undef fstat as the parameter
struct stat * is changed.

Additional change are for the macro redefinition warnings.
(Suppress warnings, but perhaps not very different)

The patch is tested to compile on 
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc 4.7.0 20111203 (experimental)
and
gcc version 4.6.1 on MingW/MSYS

If this is not sufficient, we might need to change all call of stat, lstat, and 
fstat
to some wrapper functions?  : It's theoretically doable, but could be quite 
difficult
for a huge software.

I presume the stat is a library function and therefore it depends on the

No, stat() is unreliable because it is implemented on top of
FindNextFile(), and *that's* where the actual problem is at. And
that's an OS API function, not a library function. See the discussion
at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg01181.php

In theory, if mingw implemented their stat() without using
FindNextFile(), it might work - but I don't see how they'd do it in
that case. And I can't see us going into details to remove such a
simple workaround even if they do - it's better to ensure we work the
same way with different compilers.




Yeah.


This is only a problem because, with this compiler, configure finds this:

   checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64
   checking size of off_t... 8

whereas on the mingw-w64 compiler pitta is using it finds this:

   checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... unknown
   checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... unknown
   checking size of off_t... 4


It's the setting of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS that causes the offending macro 
definition.


Can we just turn off largefile support for this compiler, or maybe for 
all mingw builds, possibly by just disabling the checks in configure.in? 
I note it's turned off for MSVC in all flavors apparently. 
pgwin32_safestat() isn't safe for large files anyway, so there would be 
good grounds for doing so quite apart from this, ISTM. (Of course, we 
should work out how to handle large files properly on Windows, but 
that's a task for another day.)


(BTW, someone asked me the other day why anyone would want to do 32 bit 
builds. One answer is that often the libraries you want to link with are 
only available in 32 bit versions.)

No, stat() is unreliable because it is implemented on top of
FindNextFile(), and *that's* where the actual problem is at. And
that's an OS API function, not a library function. See the discussion
at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg01181.php

In theory, if mingw implemented their stat() without using
FindNextFile(), it might work - but I don't see how they'd do it in
that case. And I can't see us going into details to remove such a
simple workaround even if they do - it's better to ensure we work the
same way with different compilers.

 Hmm, true. Unless HAVE_CRTDEFS_H is defined by the sytem, which it
 likely isn't - I was confusing it with the kind of defines that MSVC
 tends to stick in their own headerfiles, and thought that's what you
 were testing for.

Thank you for testing and reporting.
Would you mind giving me a bit more information on the environment?
--especially for the MinGW/MSYS versions and any other component that is 
required.

I tested on a virtual machine running 64 bit Windows 7 SP1,
installing MinGW/MSYS in the clean state and then compile.  
The versions coming with pre-packaged repository catalogues of 20110802
(gcc 4.5.2) and latest catalogue (gcc-4.6.1-2) compiles successfully.

In addition, the code fragment should have no harm as far as they
have crtdefs.h.
(Again, this is I think it should, and not tested with real tools.)

Have you verified if tihs affects _MSC_VER < 1400? Suddently that

Re: [HACKERS] [PATCH] PostgreSQL fails to build with 32bit MinGW-w64

[NISHIYAMA Tomoaki]

Hi,

A new patch:
check for the presence of crtdefs.h in configure

-#if _MSC_VER >= 1400 || defined(WIN64)
+#if _MSC_VER >= 1400 || HAVE_CRTDEFS_H
 #define errcode __msvc_errcode
 #include 
 #undef errcode

Perhaps there is no guarantee that mingw (not -w64) may not have crtdefs.h in 
the future versions.
the 3 lines
 #define errcode __msvc_errcode
 #include 
 #undef errcode
should be valid as far as crtdefs.h exists and errcode is not defined 
previously.
Because this is the first system include file, we can be sure errcode is not 
defined by this point.
So, I believe its better to just test for the presence of crtdefs.h rather than
try to figure out the name of compiler.

check for fseeko and ftello macro definition before defining to avoid
warning in mingw-w64 4.7.0 20110827

This patch was tested to build successfully on
mingw gcc version 4.6.1
mingw-w64 i686-w64-mingw32 gcc version 4.5.4 20110812
mingw-w64 x86_64-w64-mingw32 gcc version 4.7.0 20110827

I agree that original patch could be less risky. 
However, it doesn't match what Microsoft says:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms737629%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

So, I think the standard way is not defining _WINSOCKAPI_, and if any compiler 
requires that,
which I think unlikely, then it should be defined as a exceptional case.
At least, native mingw GCC 4.5.2 (20110802 catalogue) and
4.6.1 (latest catalogue) does compile happily without the three lines.

Yes, that really is a pain.

The code block
#if _MSC_VER >= 1400 || defined(WIN64)
#define errcode __msvc_errcode
#include 
#undef errcode
#endif

looks as if there is no real need to crtdefs.h but, they wanted to prevent
definition of errcode and therefor put to the first place.

So, I was afraid moving the include downwards might break by 
by including a header that internally includes crtdefs.h.
If this is not problematic for MSVC (perhaps you know better on that),  
I have no objection in moving the order.

No, this broke some compilers, IIRC (probably the native mingw compiler, 
which is in use by several buildfarm members). Getting this right was 
very tricky and time-consuming when I was adding support for the 64 bit 
mingw-w64 compiler, and there were a couple of rounds of breakage.

We have a bunch of compilers to support here. There are LOTS of compiler 
scenarios on Windows (several versions of MSVC, 32bit and 64bit 
mingw-w64, native mingw gcc, and a couple of Cygwin based compilers), 
and keeping track of them all and making sure they don't break can be a

I hope that configure --host=i686-w64-mingw use 32 bit tool sets and 
construct a 32 bit binary.  It is mostly the same procedure and should have
sufficient information to distinguish them.  Both 64 bit and 32 bit binaries
should be runnable on the same 64 bit system.

The only thing I at least am going to be interested in supporting is a 
native compiler, not a cross-compiler. It's impossible to automate 
cross-compiler testing.


The way to build natively with a mingw-w64 compiler is doumented fairly 
simply at 
:


   To build 64 bit binaries using MinGW, install the 64 bit tool set
   from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/, put its bin directory in the
   PATH, and run configure with the --host=x86_64-w64-mingw option. 



This is exactly how the buildfarm member pitta was set up.

The only issue here is how to add support for using the 32bit mingw-w64 
compiler in pretty much the same way.

Yes it's better and it works for all described test environments.

I only changed this for consistency. For me, it works without that define in 
all test
environments, too.

At least in mingw32 v4.4.4 there is no crtdefs.h. I couldn't find a proper 
define that relates directly
to that issue, so attached is a somewhat cumbersome MINGW version check.

Re: [HACKERS] [PATCH] PostgreSQL fails to build with 32bit MinGW-w64

For 32/64 bit mingw-v4.6.1 on ubuntu 11.10:
apt-get install flex gcc-mingw-w64
./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-linux --without-zlib && make
and
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-linux --without-zlib && 
make

For 32 bit mingw-v4.4.4 on ubuntu 11.10:
apt-get install flex gcc-mingw32
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=x86_64-linux --without-zlib && make

Install Fedora 15 or 16, add this repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d :

http://build1.openftd.org/fedora-cross/fedora-cross.repo

Then "yum install mingw*". This will install mingw64 both 32 and 64-bit.
Replaces a lot of official mingw32 packages from Fedora.

Then you can do for 32-bit:

cd postgresql-9.1.1
mingw32-configure
mingw32-make
sudo mingw32-make install

or for 64-bit:

mingw64-configure
mingw64-make
sudo mingw64-make install

Zoltán Böszörményi

Can you please provide me with some howto on building PG sources with

Re: [HACKERS] [PATCH] PostgreSQL fails to build with 32bit MinGW-w64

[NISHIYAMA Tomoaki]

Hi,

Isn't it better to check the value of macros itsef rather than checking for
system dependent macros that does not directly relate to the issue?
specifically for getaddrinfo.c case I think
#if EAI_NODATA != EAI_NONAME
is a better check than checking for
#if !defined(__MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR) && !defined(WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER)  /* 
MSVC/WIN64 duplicate */

For the win32.h, I really don't understand why _WINSOCKAPI_ was defined before

some google suggests that defining _WINSOCKAPI_ before  prevents
inclusion of winsock.h but that does not have relation to inclusion of
 and if  is included first, it should be ok.

If this guess is right, perhaps it could be better to remove the three lines.
#if !defined(WIN64) || defined(WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER)
#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#endif

+/* __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR is related to both 32/64 bit gcc compiles by
+ * mingw-w64, however it gots defined only after
Why not use __MINGW32__, which is defined without including any headers?
