Re: Itanium HP-UX build failure, register stack

The code we added recently to the stack-depth check to also check the
register stack on ia64 doesn't compile on HP-UX B.11.31, using the HP
aCC compiler:

cc -Ae +O2 -g -I../../../src/include -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -c -o
postgres.o postgres.c
"postgres.c", line 3002: warning #2837-D: omission of explicit type is
nonstandard ("int" assumed)
static __inline__ char *
^

"postgres.c", line 3002: error #2065: expected a ";"
static __inline__ char *
^

I committed a fix for that using the HP-UX specific _Asm_mov_from_ar
macro, similar to how we use _Asm_xchg for TAS().

With this, 8.4 compiles on HP-UX again, yeaee! 9.0 still has this issue:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-11/msg01971.php. I'll
take a look at that..

I wish we could get some buildfarm coverage for HPUX. I've whined about
this in the past, but nobody's ever made an offer to provide suitable
platform(s) that I know of.

cheers

I only have temporary access to this HPUX box, but I'm trying to arrange
that.

I've got two HP-UX 11 boxes, PA-RISC and IA64.

From uname:
HP-UX B.11.23 U 9000/785
HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64

They are build farm boxes (which already build postgres) so my guess is they
wouldn't require much fiddling. I don't time to help with this, but am more
than willing to give you all the access you need to get it going.

I also have HP-UX 10.20 on a PA-RISC for the courageous.

HP is willing to give us access to boxes. I just talked to their
Itanium partnership person today; I thought we had boxes but I can get
some for her if we don't.

Well please get me details and access and I'll set up a buildfarm member
or two.
