1. Irix build failes (PSQL 7.1.1)

   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2001-05-11T09:32:43Z

   Erik Hofman (erik@ehofman.com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   Irix build failes (PSQL 7.1.1)
   
   Long Description
   I'm unable to build on Irix (6.5.9) using the MipsPro compiler (Vs 7.3). The output is this:
   
   cc-1092 cc: ERROR File = ../../../../src/include/utils/nabstime.h, Line = 157
     Identifier-list parameters can only be used in a function definition.
   
     extern Datum timeofday(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
                  ^
   
   cc-1092 cc: ERROR File = ../../../../src/include/access/xact.h, Line = 146
     Identifier-list parameters can only be used in a function definition.
   
     extern Datum xidin(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
                  ^
   
   cc-3452 cc: ERROR File = ../../../../src/include/access/xact.h, Line = 146
     The compilation is aborted due to the number of errors.
   
   
   101 errors detected in the compilation of "heaptuple.c".
   
   Do you have any ideas?

   Very strange ... especially considering that that include file has
   dozens of nearly identical extern declarations.  Why does it choke on
   only this one?
   
   Does your compiler documentation explain this error message more fully?
   I'm not at all sure what it means by "Identifier-list parameters".

   I'll bet a nickel that it is a name conflict with something else called
   "timeofday".

   Well I've managed to get rid of this error message (remove old header
   files), but now i get this:
   
   
   
   cc-1130 cc: ERROR File = heaptuple.c, Line = 684
     Expression must have pointer-to-struct or pointer-to-union type.
   
                           value[attoff] = heap_getattr(tuple,
                                           ^

   What do you mean by that, exactly?
   
   If you had header files from another version of Postgres cluttering
   your include path, maybe there are still some left.
