Re: postgreSQL-8.0.1 compilation with icc-8.1 on Itanium-2 gives "error: asm statements not supported" - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Just an update, the __INTEL_COMPILER is true on Itanium if icc is
being used. So, the following worked for me-

---------------------------BEGIN OLD
s_lock.h-------------------------------------------------
#if defined(__ia64__) || defined(__ia64)  /* __ia64 used by ICC compiler? */
#define HAS_TEST_AND_SET
typedef unsigned int slock_t;
#define TAS(lock) tas(lock)

static __inline__ int
tas(volatile slock_t *lock)
{      long int        ret;
      __asm__ __volatile__(              "       xchg4   %0=%1,%2        \n"
:               "=r"(ret), "+m"(*lock)
:               "r"(1)
:               "memory");      return (int) ret;
}
#endif   /* __ia64__ || __ia64 */
-----------------------------END OLD
s_lock.h-------------------------------------------------

---------------------------BEGIN NEW
s_lock.h-------------------------------------------------
#if defined(__ia64__) || defined(__ia64)  /* __ia64 used by ICC compiler? */
/* Intel Itanium */
#define HAS_TEST_AND_SET

typedef unsigned int slock_t;

#define TAS(lock) tas(lock)

#if defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)

static __inline__ int
tas(volatile slock_t *lock)
{       int     ret;
       ret = _InterlockedExchange(lock,1);
       return ret;
}

#else    /* __INTEL_COMPILER */

static __inline__ int
tas(volatile slock_t *lock)
{       long int        ret;
       __asm__ __volatile__(               "       xchg4   %0=%1,%2        \n"
:               "=r"(ret), "+m"(*lock)
:               "r"(1)
:               "memory");       return (int) ret;
}

#endif   /* __INTEL_COMPILER */

#endif   /* __ia64__ || __ia64 */
-----------------------------END NEW
s_lock.h-------------------------------------------------

Thanks and Regards,
