PostgreSQL 8.1.5: regression tests fail on sparc
Hi,
PostgreSQL 8.1.5 have a problem with division by zero on sparc.
Solaris 9 sparc, gcc 4.0.2, 4.1.1:
$ ./configure --enable-thread-safety --disable-nls --without-perl
--without-python --without-krb5 --without-openssl --without-readline
...
$ make && make check
...
=======================
1 of 98 tests failed.
=======================
The differences that caused some tests to fail can be viewed in the
file `./regression.diffs'. A copy of the test summary that you see
above is saved in the file `./regression.out'.

We've not heard that reported before, so I wonder whether there's not
something broken about your compiler or libc.
The code in question is in int2div() in utils/adt/int.c:
if (arg2 == 0)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_DIVISION_BY_ZERO),
errmsg("division by zero")));
result = arg1 / arg2;
It's a bit hard to see how a compiler could get this wrong, but maybe
it's thinking it can evaluate the division before calling errfinish?

I found that you logged this as gcc bug:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29968
However, SunStudio is much better for SPARC platform and now is free.
GCC does not have good code optimalizer for SPARC.
