Re: [PATCHES] Patch for PostgreSQL 6.4-BETA5: pgsql/src/backend/port/getrusage.c

I have added stdio.h to getrusage.c to fix this problem, in both trees.

Bruce,
Regarding your inquiry, I looked into stdio.h and (lo and behold) this is the
definition.

#ifndef NULL
#define NULL 0
#endif

I'm not sure why I had to add it to the Postgres source file to avoid
compilation errors, since the definition in stdio.h is identical.

Please find the NULL define in your system header, and tell me what it
is so I can include that in the file. Could be in stdio.h?

On SCO OpenServer 3.2.5, I get an error when compiling
pgsql/src/backend/port/getrusage.c . NULL is undefined:

make -C port all
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/port'
cc -b elf -I../../include -I../../backend -dy -I.. -c getrusage.c
"getrusage.c", line 26: error: undefined symbol: NULL
make[2]: *** [getrusage.o] Error 1

The simple fix is to add these three 3 lines to the file:

#ifndef NULL
#define NULL 0
#endif
