Re: asm/ia64regs.h not found on FreeBSD 8.1 IA64

Hi Tom,

thanks for this really fast reply.


I've removed the line

#include <asm/ia64regs.h>

and it compiles now.


The function __getReg(_IA64_REG_AR_BSP) In postgres.c seems to be called 
only on Intel compilers.

And I see in asm/ia64regs.h (found on a Linux box)

#define _IA64_REG_AR_BSP        3089

in a section

/*
  * Register Names for getreg() and setreg().
  *
  * The "magic" numbers happen to match the values used by the Intel 
compiler's
  * getreg()/setreg() intrinsics.
  */

So I assume asm/ia64regs.h is only needed for Intel compilers on Linux.


Since this is not the default behavior are there any concerns to install 
this version into production?
I'm thinking of stability or future updates.


Many thanks
Frank
