.SH "Compiling Dynamically-Loaded C Functions"
.PP
Different operating systems require different procedures for compiling
C source files so that Postgres can load them dynamically. This section
discusses the required compiler and loader options on each system.
.PP
Under Linux ELF, object files can be generated by specifing the compiler
flag -fpic.
.PP
Under Ultrix, all object files that Postgres is expected to load
dynamically must be compiled using
.IR /bin/cc
with the \*(lq-G 0\*(rq option turned on. The object file name in the
.IR as
clause should end in \*(lq.o\*(rq.
.PP
Under HP-UX, DEC OSF/1, AIX and SunOS 4, all object files must be
turned into
.IR "shared libraries"
using the operating system's native object file loader,
.IR ld(1).
.PP
Under HP-UX, an object file must be compiled using the native HP-UX C
compiler,
.IR /bin/cc ,
with both the \*(lq+z\*(rq and \*(lq+u\*(rq flags turned on. The
first flag turns the object file into \*(lqposition-independent
code\*(rq (PIC); the second flag removes some alignment restrictions
that the PA-RISC architecture normally enforces. The object file must
then be turned into a shared library using the HP-UX loader,
.IR /bin/ld .
The command lines to compile a C source file, \*(lqfoo.c\*(rq, look
like:
.nf
cc <other flags> +z +u -c foo.c
ld <other flags> -b -o foo.sl foo.o
.fi
The object file name in the
.BR as
clause should end in \*(lq.sl\*(rq.
.PP
An extra step is required under versions of HP-UX prior to 9.00. If
the Postgres header file
.nf
include/c.h
.fi
is not included in the source file, then the following line must also
be added at the top of every source file:
.nf
#pragma HP_ALIGN HPUX_NATURAL_S500
.fi
However, this line must not appear in programs compiled under HP-UX
9.00 or later.
.PP
Under DEC OSF/1, an object file must be compiled and then turned
into a shared library using the OSF/1 loader,
.IR /bin/ld .
In this case, the command lines look like:
.nf
cc <other flags> -c foo.c
ld <other flags> -shared -expect_unresolved '*' -o foo.so foo.o
.fi
The object file name in the
.BR as
clause should end in \*(lq.so\*(rq.
.PP
Under SunOS 4, an object file must be compiled and then turned into a
shared library using the SunOS 4 loader,
.IR /bin/ld .
The command lines look like:
.nf
cc <other flags> -PIC -c foo.c
ld <other flags> -dc -dp -Bdynamic -o foo.so foo.o
.fi
The object file name in the
.BR as
clause should end in \*(lq.so\*(rq.
.PP
Under AIX, object files are compiled normally but building the shared
library requires a couple of steps. First, create the object file:
.nf
cc <other flags> -c foo.c
.fi
You must then create a symbol \*(lqexports\*(rq file for the object
file:
.nf
mkldexport foo.o `pwd` > foo.exp
.fi
Finally, you can create the shared library:
.nf
ld <other flags> -H512 -T512 -o foo.so -e _nostart \e
-bI:.../lib/postgres.exp -bE:foo.exp foo.o \e
-lm -lc 2>/dev/null

procedure.

Documentation Guide
Thomas Lockhart
Revision 1.15 1999/05/27 15:49:07 thomas
Markup fixes.
Update for v6.5 release.
Revision 1.12 1998/12/18 16:17:29 thomas
Include more details on editing with Emacs.
Remove mention of the old "migration" flat files.
Change URLs for resources to point to areas, not particular files.
That way things stay correct even when version of tools change.
Suggested by Vince Vielhaber.
Revision 1.11 1998/10/30 19:36:57 thomas
Minor editing and markup changes as a result of preparing the Postscript
documentation for v6.4.
Bigger updates to the installation instructions (install and config).
Revision 1.8 1998/08/17 16:17:07 thomas
Bring document list closer to up to day.
Add a note on sgml-tools that they are now working with jade and so
may become the toolset of choice in the future.

<para>
Applixware does not seem to do a complete job of importing <acronym>RTF</acronym>
generated by jade/MSS. In particular, all text is given the
<quote>Header1</quote> style attribute label, although the text
formatting itself is acceptable. Also, the Table of Contents page
numbers do not refer to the section listed in the table, but rather
refer to the page of the ToC itself.</para>
<application>jade</application>, an integral part of the
hardcopy procedure, omits specifying a default style for body
text. In the past, this undiagnosed problem led to a long process
of Table of Contents (ToC) generation. However, with great help
from the ApplixWare folks the symptom was diagnosed and a
workaround is available.
