There isn't a lot of user demand for AIX support, we have a bunch of
hacks to work around AIX-specific compiler bugs and idiosyncrasies,
and no one has stepped up to the plate to properly maintain it.
Remove support for AIX to get rid of that maintenance overhead. It's
still supported for stable versions.
The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit
8af2565248, the AIX buildfarm members have been hitting this
assertion:
TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728
Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX
for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable.
That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support
instead.

Move the platform-dependent logic that sets CFLAGS_SL from
src/makefiles/Makefile.foo to src/template/foo, so that the value
is determined at configure time and thus is available while running
configure's tests.
On a couple of platforms this might save a few microseconds of build
time by eliminating a test that make otherwise has to do over and over.
Otherwise it's pretty much a wash for build purposes; in particular,
this makes no difference to anyone who might be overriding CFLAGS_SL
via a make option.
This patch in itself does nothing with the value and thus should not
change any behavior, though you'll probably have to re-run configure
to get a correctly updated Makefile.global. We'll use the new
configure variable in a follow-on patch.
Per gripe from Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches,
because the follow-on patch is a portability bug fix.

With xlc v16.1.0, it causes internal compiler errors. With xlc versions
not exhibiting that bug, removing -qsrcmsg merely changes the compiler
error reporting format. Back-patch to 9.4 (all supported versions).

Per buildfarm animal Hornet and followup manual testing by Noah Misch,
it appears xlc miscompiles code using "restrict" in at least some
cases. Allow disabling restrict usage with FORCE_DISABLE_RESTRICT=yes
in template files, and do so for aix/xlc.

In de6fd1c8 I moved the the work around from 53f73879 into the aix
template. The previous location was removed in the former commit, and I
thought that it would be nice to emit a warning when running configure.
That didn't turn out to work because at the point the template is
included we don't know whether we're compiling a 32/64 bit binary and
it's possible to install compilers for both on a 64 bit kernel/OS.
So go back to a less ambitious approach and define
PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in port/aix.h, without emitting a warning. We
could try a more fancy approach, but it doesn't seem worth it.
This requires moving the check for PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in c.h to
after including the system headers included from therein which isn't
perfect, as it seems slightly more robust to include all system headers
in a similar environment. Oh well.

Per buildfarm members mandrill and hornet.

So far we have worked around the fact that some very old compilers do
not support 'inline' functions by only using inline functions
conditionally (or not at all). Since such compilers are very rare by
now, we have decided to rely on inline functions from 9.6 onwards.
To avoid breaking these old compilers inline is defined away when not
supported. That'll cause "function x defined but not used" type of
warnings, but since nobody develops on such compilers anymore that's
ok.
This change in policy will allow us to more easily employ inline
functions.
I chose to remove code previously conditional on PG_USE_INLINE as it
seemed confusing to have code dependent on a define that's always
defined.
Blacklisting of compilers, like in c53f73879f, now has to be done
differently. A platform template can define PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE to
force inline to be defined empty.

xlc provides "long long" unconditionally at C99-compatible language
levels, and this option provokes a warning. The warning interferes with
"configure" tests that fail in response to any warning. Notably, before
commit 85a2a8903f7e9151793308d0638621003aded5ae, it interfered with the
test for -qnoansialias. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

CC was exactly "xlc"; which is a bad idea, as demonstrated by trouble report
from Mihai Criveti.

MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.
Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the

Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.

Read templates after compiler is detected. Convert all templates to real

Subject: [PATCHES] AIX 6.2 make patch.
New template files to replace the old AIX template
|

|
Clean up the .sample files...comment out all sample entries except for
the localhost one
|
|
|
|
Further extended Makefile.global/build/configure so that we can
have a 'template' file for each OS (and each version of OS, as in BSDi)
which is used as much as possible to generate Makefile.global
Any future ports should look at using the template file as a basis,
before moving over to Makefile.global.
This will most probably break alot of the ports, atho I've tried to
be very neat about it...
