This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working. It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does. Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.
Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.
unportable backslashes in awk script (per Patrick Welche), and add
brackets to prevent autoconf from mangling sed's regexp (the sed call
here never did what was expected).
include it if it links properly. It seems too risky to assume that
standard functions like pow() are not special-cased by the compiler.
Per report from Andreas Lange that build fails on Solaris cc compiler
with -fast. Even though we don't consider that a supported option,
I'm worried that similar issues will arise with other compilers.
code relies on the checking macro actually being called at the end, or the
automatic undiversion will produce garbage. These sort of implicit
side-effects undermine the modularity of the macros and happen to break the
ODBC driver which makes use of them.
Also put the warnings at the very end of configure, so there is an even
better chance of seeing them.
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.
This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,
and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that
include file and getrlimit().
Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit
versions for which history.h is a needed header, even though it's
apparently been dropped entirely in other versions. Grumble.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.
The previous coding would bleat but then use it anyway; better to invoke
the 'missing' script if any grammar files need to be rebuilt.
repeatedly. Now that we don't have to worry about memory leaks from
glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)
found. Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed
whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later
in the build process.
Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.
