Incidentally, I did boot up the simulator again the other day because I had had an idea for how we might get the regression tests to pass. However the idea didn't pan out. I thought maybe we could compile just float.c with -msoft-float so that the backend used VAX floats and the user datatype was represented by IEEE floats. I'm sure there are a few places where we assume we can convert one to the other but I was hoping it would be few enough to be manageable to fix up. I wasn't sure how feasible it was to have a mixed build at all and I was going to experiment. However gcc doesn't support -msoft-float on VAX. Apparently -msoft-float is an implemented by the architecture backend rather than as a portable general purpose feature :( -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
