Hello Tom,
Fix unportable code in pgbench.
Sorry for this unforseen issue... portability is a pain:-(
The buildfarm points out that UINT64_FORMAT might not work with sscanf;
it's calibrated for our printf implementation, which might not agree
with the platform-supplied sscanf. Fall back to just accepting an
unsigned long, which is already more than the documentation promises.
Yep, but ISTM that it is down to 32 bits, whereas the PRNG seed expects 48
bits a few lines below:
base_random_sequence.xseed[0] = iseed & 0xFFFF;
base_random_sequence.xseed[1] = (iseed >> 16) & 0xFFFF;
base_random_sequence.xseed[2] = (iseed >> 32) & 0xFFFF;
So the third short is now always 0. Hmmm. I'll propose another option over
the week-end.
