They're mostly not worth worrying about, because evidently the compiler developers later improved the compilers to not warn about these cases anymore. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

It would be good to determine an appropriate set of compiler switches to reduce the warnings to a reasonable level. yeah once we have determined that this whole experiment is useful it should be pretty easy to tweak the compiler switches for the non-gcc compilers (mostly icc and sun studio seem to be the ones that generate excessive output). For sun studio -erroff=E_STATEMENT_NOT_REACHED is useful there. If you want to determine warning tags for each warning add -errtags.

But I've never seen this message in any of the flex versions I've used with PG. (Which flex version is installed on lionfish anyway?) I find some relevant points in the flex manual: http://flex.sourceforge.net/manual/Patterns.html Character classes are expanded immediately when seen in the flex input. This means the character classes are sensitive to the locale in which flex is executed, and the resulting scanner will not be sensitive to the runtime locale. This may or may not be desirable. Character classes with ranges, such as `[a-Z]', should be used with caution in a case-insensitive scanner if the range spans upper or lowercase characters. Flex does not know if you want to fold all upper and lowercase characters together, or if you want the literal numeric range specified (with no case folding). When in doubt, flex will assume that you meant the literal numeric range, and will issue a warning. The exception to this rule is a character range such as `[a-z]' or `[S-W]' where it is obvious that you want case-folding to occur. What I suspect is happening is that lionfish is running the buildfarm script in a non-C locale, in which flex finds that some high-bit-set characters are case-folded by tolower() and accordingly issues this complaint. Now the statements that "it assumes you meant the literal numeric range" and that the behavior is fully determined at compile time (ie, no run-time invocations of tolower(), as indeed are not to be seen in pl_scan.c) seem to mean that we'll get the behavior we want anyway. But the warning is a bit nervous-making. I wonder if it'd be a good idea to invoke flex with a command like LANG=C flex ... to try to improve the odds that it sees C locale when it's figuring out what "case insensitive" means.

It's probably uint8, but if we explicitly cast the sizeof to 8 bits, we could conceivably break things on other platforms. Are there any where sockaddr_un is longer than 255 bytes? Anyway I'm inclined to leave this alone. > guc.c:2866: warning: 'guc_get_index' defined but not used > Extra instructions are being generated for each reference to a TOC > symbol if the symbol is in the TOC overflow area. This is fairly bizarre, since 'guc_get_index' *is* used in guc-file.c, which is included into this same file. However I don't much like the coding method used here (it is certainly not better than using a temporary flag bit), so when I get a chance I'll rewrite it out of existence. > connect.c:23: warning: missing braces around initializer > connect.c:23: warning: (near initialization for > 'actual_connection_key_once.__on_word') > misc.c:67: warning: missing braces around initializer > misc.c:67: warning: (near initialization for 'sqlca_key_once.__on_word') I think these are a platform bug. The spec clearly says that static pthread_once_t actual_connection_key_once = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT; is exactly how you are supposed to do it. If pthread_once_t is a struct on a given platform, that platform ought to be defining PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT with the appropriate braces included. If we added braces ourselves we'd break it for platforms where the macro is correct already. Hence, not our problem. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Nor have I been able to find any actual problems caused by it.

Could the compiler be incorrectly optimizing cases of SET_VARSIZE(new_datum VARSIZE(olddatum)) which amounts to: ((olddatum >> 2) & 0x3FFF) << 2 If it does constant propagation without handling overflow it could end up with: (olddatum >> 2 << 2) & 0x3FFFC note that in fact truncating the high two bits as the assembler did would in fact be the correct thing to do here which would explain why it doesn't cause any actual problems. Also note that it doesn't require an actual single statement of the form above. The compiler could be doing constant propagation from an earlier statement. Code which calls VARSIZE(olddatum) and then passes the result to SET_VARSIZE(newdatum,len) is quite common. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

Agreed, but I don't know which should be the master :( Well, actually. Since it's not #defined in port.h, that should mean it's not being used anyway? Since the symbol in dirmod.c is pgsymlink, which shouldn't be referenced directly anywhere. If that's so, then changing dirmod.c to just exclude the whole thing on CYGWIN should fix the issue. I don't have a way to test it, but perhaps we should just throw it in and see if eel breaks on the buildfarm?

It would be good to determine an appropriate set of compiler switches to reduce the warnings to a reasonable level. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

The compilers I use give me 1 or 2 warnings on HEAD, coming from flex's sloppiness about not generating unused code. I wouldn't care to work with a compiler that generated more than a few. At the same time, I'm not prepared to contort the source code unduly to suppress what you referred to as "spam" warnings from over-chatty compilers. What would probably be useful if you want to pursue this is to filter out the obvious spam like statement-not-reached, and see what's left. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
