Hi Howard,
Any plan on making LMDB work on OpenBSD?
Not sure what action you're expecting from us. Theo made it quite
clear that OpenBSD does not and will not have a unified buffer cache.
1) I did not read that anywhere. I guess it's waiting to be solved, just
like >4GB buffer cache support.
OpenBSD should deliver LMDB in the MDB_WRITEMAP mode.
(http://lmdb.tech/doc/group__mdb.html)
Fine, let OpenBSD do that. Along with release notes saying that
OpenBSD's port of LMDB doesn't provide any protection from stray
pointer overwrites.
2)
Yes!
That is perfect for now.
3)
$ git clone https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb
$ cd lmdb/libraries/liblmdb
$ make
It does build on OpenBSD.
Should liblmdb.so work perfectly out of the box (as long as I stick to
MDB_WRITEMAP only)?
I.e. this is with your blessing.
4)
The only OpenBSD-specific behavior that could be relevant, then, would
be to "disable" MDB_RDONLY by forcing MDB_WRITEMAP on the platform for
now?
5)
Should the tests work out of the box?
(At least some effort has been done e.g.
https://gitlab.com/mdb/sqlightning/issues/6 )
The repos on gitlab.com are corrupted and have been abandoned. The
only official repo is on openldap.org.
6) Ok
