Can you provide me with a list of platforms it should be tested on?
The current list is at
http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/admin/supported-platforms.html
No, I wouldn't do that to you. You tell me how you want the results
to look and I'll give you copy-n-paste. All of this
I have a bunch of machines here, some are rather old (K6-200s,P133s, some
486s etc) but they're just collecting dust now. I would be more than happy
to install any OS and do build testing for PostgreSQL is there is a need..
What OSes need to have PostgreSQL built/tested on that the developers
Would there be any value in setting up a project on sourceforge to
make use of their compile farm? I know that it doesn't cover all
platforms, but it would perhaps be a start to mechanical compile and
regression testing.
I haven't looked at the platforms available in the compile farm

As well as Linux I run Solaris 8 SPARC (32-bit not 64), Solaris 7 SPARC
(SMP, 32-bit not 64), Solaris 7 Intel (both SMP and uni-processor) and
Solaris 8 Intel (both SMP and uni-processor).
I can be counted on to do testing of these as required in about 2 weeks
from now, after I get a new
At least on AIX it looks like the select with 0 timeout is a noop, and does not
yield the processor. There was discussion, that other OS's (BSD) also does an
immediate return in case of 0 timeout.
Minimum select(2) delay is 1 msec on AIX (tested with Tom's test.c).
So, what was the case
So, what was the case against using yield (2) ?
$ man 2 yield
No entry for yield in section 2 of the manual.
Lack of portability :-(
I can't beleive that AIX finally has a convenience function that
is missing in mainstream unix :-)
$man 2 yield

Yields the processor to

So far none of the rest of us have

We expect 7.1 to be faster than 7.0.X. We may have a small problem that
we may have to address. Not sure yet.
