The POSIX spec says that rint() rounds halfway cases to nearest even. Our substitute implementation failed to do that, rather rounding halfway cases away from zero; and it also got some other cases (such as minus zero) wrong. This led to observable cross-platform differences, as reported in bug #12885 from Rich Schaaf; in particular, casting from float to int didn't honor round-to-nearest-even on builds using rint.c. Implement something that attempts to cover all cases per spec, and add some simple regression tests so that we'll notice if any platforms still get this wrong. Although this is a bug fix, no back-patch, as a behavioral change in the back branches was agreed not to be a good idea. Pedro Gimeno Fortea, reviewed by Michael Paquier and myself |

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
